One thing that I’ve been hopeful of since the beginning of Better Out Than In is that Banksy might put up work in every borough. With today’s piece in Queens, that hope is one step closer to becoming a reality. This piece also seems to have been Banksy’s closest call yet, with Gothamist reporting the story of a woman spotting a man leaving the site of the piece wearing construction gear (while there is no nearby construction) while the paint was still wet and there was still a blue tarp pinned up on part of the wall. It was been reported in the past that Banksy might use a tarp to cover up his work while it is in progress. But other than the location and that story, not a particularly interesting piece in my opinion, so let’s have a look at today’s + 5.
For this + 5, I’ve got work by GATS, Trollz, Syd and three unknown artists:
