Just after 8 a.m., we received the scoop that Banksy's 14th NYC piece this month was in Woodside, Queens. Now, 13 hours later, the stencil has been basically destroyed. Man, where are those savvy East New Yorkers when you need them?
Kevin Mazeski sent us this video of the piece being tagged by someone who called himself "Problem Child." Mazeski said, "He kept saying about how this was his area. And the guy was pissed."
Now where are the babies going to pose?! Anyway, rival graffiti artists marking/dissing/capping/slashing/going over each other's pieces is nothing new.
