We went to Bristol, which is probably the street art capitol of the world. Well at least, from all the places I've been to, it definitely has them beaten. If you can recall from
a past post, I have said that I like the art of
Banksy, we saw like 5 of his pieces in Bristol...and they were almost all defaced. Apparently he has haters. It seems to me that there is drama in every thing that has a human touch, and street art is no exception. Here are the photos of the Banksy's pieces we saw, among millions of others (I might be exaggerating):

| Somebody felt the need to shoot paint at this one... |
 |
| This one is intact! |
 |
| This one looks like it's intact, but it totally had 'GAY' written all over the girl, Chuy cheated and stamped it out. |

This one has been restored from the blue paint shots.
