Masters Of Mayhem!Erasing History[?] by Banksy

Photo by Jansku. Image taken at the Cans Festival, 05/05/08 London. [Thanks to Kat for making me take a second proper look at it.] I’ve now realized the significance of this, the meaning is so clear and even deeper now. I don’t think he’s just referring to ancient art done by our forefathers, but also the millions of street art that have been wiped out all over i.e. the recent Melbourne cleanup. It’s pretty much a representation of our future generation. It’s now my favorite Banksy piece ever!

Upon further review of it, the meaning is so clear and even deeper now. I don’t think he’s just referring to ancient art done by our forefathers, but also the millions of street art that have been wiped out all over i.e. the recent Melbourne cleanup.

    Indeed, Kat. Thanks for making me look twice. I posted this at 5am and I was looking at it as a visual only and overlooked the meaning tremendously. If you had not commented I would not have realized the true meaning and importance of this here piece.
