Description and for those of you who never saw Bansky's deep-sea diver, before it was destroyed, here 'tis, or here 'twas ..

and for those of you who have no idea, the perspex covering was installed by the city of melbourne to protect this piece, after it become known that this city had an original Banksy .. unfortunately it obviously wasn't sufficient to safeguard it against those who intentionally destroyed it .. but such is the nature of street art.

nah, just put some aerosol cans in yer backpack, find some bland wall that's just screaming for it, and create something equally wonderful ..

perhaps worse is that the image of alice i have in a deviation called one pill makes you larger has since been covered by by posters advertising some upcoming events .. vandalism at the corporate level.

Thank goodness you're out there with that camera....

Improving people's lives before the chance is lost forever.

I have to say though, the street art by you is way above par... the most exotic it gets around me is Charlie Chaplin with a chainsaw... and that's just a poor stencil at best.

no.
some moron who doesn't understand the rules of street art poured silver paint down behind the perspex and wrote 'bansky woz here', or something else equally cretinous, over where it had been.
