Yes and there was a also a couple in Bangkok doing it in central Bangkok, I think they may have been made to clean it up which is not a bad punishment.TheImplication wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 6:03 am Didn’t some brits do the same to the wall in Chiang Mai last year? What’s wrong with the young folks these days?
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.

Re: British Woman RUBY WILKINS Arrested after Boyfriend Vandalizes Bridge in Kampot, Cambodia
You're seriously suggesting that you can take non commentary on a specific thread as giving you a green light to judge how other posters feel relative to completely different topics, especially something as abhorrent as rape or violence against children. That's bizarre.jaynewcastle wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2020 11:49 pm It 's so pathetic that all the outraged members on this thread, had nothing at all to say on a recent thread about a Cambodian grandfather aged 78 raping his 8 year old grand daughter
A bit of graffiti by a westerner however seems to a far more serious crime judging by many of the responses so far

Yes! Would say this is a plain act of vandalism, it's easy to judge against another's actions. Or was it for some other self reason, unfortunately he only has the answer for his actions.
On the forum there is a thread on the subject of "street art and graffiti" Banksy- art makes you think.
I have personally enjoyed spending some time with the thread, photographing the street art of Phnom Penh, there are some very talented painters in Cambodia. I could say - lets hope actions, discussions of the above posts have no reflection on the artform and subjects in anyway, "towards what some call art and others vandalism". But that has always been the questions and answers on this artform.

Always "hope" but never "expect".
Re: British Woman RUBY WILKINS Arrested after Boyfriend Vandalizes Bridge in Kampot, Cambodia
I was born and raised in Montpellier, Bristol about two streets down from where Banksy allegedly lived. I used to see his early "work" everywhere I walked as it was all over the neighborhood, from Cromwell Road, through Stokes Croft all the way down into Broadmead. Initially it was almost all just tags like the ones in the OP. They were mostly stencils right from the start, that was his thing, but they were still just mindless tags with his name and nothing else.
One that I remember in particular was this huge one on the side of the Kwik Fit opposite the Polish church just before you get to Stokes Croft as I walked past it on my way to school every day. It was just a massive stencil of his name, nothing more.
He gradually branched out but it took a long time. I think his "Mild Mild West" teddy throwing flowers at riot police was the first real artwork I saw from him, and that was many years after the tagging started.
Not saying these guys are good or that they didn't fuck up, clearly they did, but the double standard being applied here isn't warranted.

One problem is that many of the former never progress to the latter. Their vandalism will remain their only legacy.

Agreed, Banksy was a writer like this Soron dude, painting spots Barton Hill, track sides and the occasional train but you probably didn't notice or remember his work because it wasn't particularity different from other writers who were doing much the same thing. You noticed his stencils because they are much quicker to do and at the time he was one of the few writers that used them. In graffiti the use of stencils outside of say a New York writer from the 80s like Futura 2000 was unacceptable. Specifically in the 90s when Banksy started getting up. Banksy and this Soron dude represent basically the same thing.Bubble T wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 11:14 amI was born and raised in Montpellier, Bristol about two streets down from where Banksy allegedly lived.

I don't remember if it was FHM or Bizzare mag in like 1996 or 1997 had Banky's shovel rat stencil in one issue for all to use, along with a multispread feature on him. I was 13 or so at the time, pissing off my dad with rat stencils everywhere on the farm hahaangsta wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 6:53 pm
