Despite all of the rationalizing from the “art world” that even Mr. Radtke would be too sensible to paint over a Banksy (often increasing building values from [...]

Streetwise Eloquence: Crime and Grey Ghost Censured

by Loki June 11, 2008

The above is a message we can all agree with, although some might phrase it more delicately.
