Banksy | ‘IKEA Punk’ Defaced During Vote
November 4th 09, 1:55
A Banksy piece which we reported on earlier (here) has been defaced while a public vote was taking place calling for its preservation. While more than 93% of the 250 voters urged the Sutton council to keep the Banksy piece, the Beddington Farm Road mural was ironically tagged over by the same mindless graffiti that the Banksy image depicted to be criticizing.
Works of Banksy have often been regarded as beneficial to the local community, attracting art-savvy tourists that help boost the local economy. Though it’s not the first time Banksy’s been painted over, it’s always sad to see a great work of art end up this way.

CLOUD by Ron English
October 1st 09, 18:37
We’ve been huge fans of Ron English’s work here at SLAMXHYPE, having seen his billboard hijackings and modern surrealist paintings over the years, Ron English has taken his art into new heights (literally), tagging across the sky the word ‘CLOUD’ five times across lower Manhattan. The text soon dissipates into… actual clouds! Very impressive new medium of artistic expression which we definitely hope to see more of in the future. Take a look at the video below.
Make sure you get yourself a copy of issue 2 of THE NEW ORDER for a look at our interview with Ron.
