Banksy vs. Robbo


1985: Robbo paints one of London’s earliest pieces

2006: The piece gets dogged

December 2009: Banksy paints a bloke “wallpapering” up the graffiti

2 weeks later: Robbo takes it as a diss, comes out of retirement and puts his name back

After Months of deliberation Banksy comes up with an ingeniuos response

Robbo is having none of it

The wall is painted black, presumably by the council. Or someone who objects to two grown men acting like children.

July 2010: Robbo accusses Banksy of having a career

Again the wall is painted black by persons unknown, this time very neatly

January 2011: Banksy returns to paint a bizarre concept piece about goldfish

Robbo is about to paint a rebuttal when he has an accident and falls into a coma.

November 2011: Banksy paints poor replica of original Robbo outline
