Banksy Bombing New Orleans
To commemorate the third anniversary of the devastating hurricane Katrina, internationally known graffiti artist Banksy spent some time in New Orleans. His work in New Orleans is largely a response the post Katrina city and the progress of the clean up. While Banksy was there, he also took the opportunity to fight back against Fred Radtke known as the Gray Ghost in the urban art scene. The Gray Ghost is the president of Louisiana's anti-graffiti Operation: Clean Sweep, Inc. Graffiti has been disappearing from both public and private property all over New Orleans, covered in the exact same shade of gray since 1997.
"I came to New Orleans to do battle with the Gray Ghost, a notorious vigilante who's been systematically painting over any graffiti he can find with the same shade of grey paint since 1997. Consequently he's done more damage to the culture of the city than any section five hurricane could ever hope to achieve." - Banksy
