Painting of the week - by Banksy

Banksy, Leake St Graffiti Removal, 2008

One man's art is another man's graffiti. Who better to represent this than Banksy - the graffito whose artwork is worth millions of dollars - if you can chip it off the wall. But on the other hand, it's constantly being washed off the walls, even in the usually graffiti-happy Melbourne!

And yes I did pick this piece because the 'graffiti' being washed off looks like the Lascaux cave paintings! Can you imagine if someone decided they were crappy scrawl from some teens who couldn't draw?! :O:O:O:O
