If you follow the street art and graffiti blogs, you'll know that Banksy has been tearing across North America, putting up murals in promotion of
his movie since its opening in
Los Angeles, hitting walls in
San Francisco,
Toronto and
Boston, and bloggers were expectantly holding their collective breath assuming that he'd show up in New York next. And, sure enough, as of yesterday two Banksy murals have been spotted, one in
Tribeca and another right around the corner from
The L's offices in Dumbo (pictured). Back in San Fran the British art prankster's street team put up almost a dozen pieces, so there should be many more hidden in our urban jungle. Maybe he'll even open another
pet store.
