Banksy's art vandalised in Melbourne



Wow, only 10 days after my last post, and the gray ghost seems to have struck again, or has it? In my last post I mentioned the grey painted billboard on the corner of Smith and Gertrude streets, and it's resemblance to the Gray Ghost of New Orleans.

Well, I'm not sure if it is the same person, but it looks like someone has decided to get back at Banksy.

Back in August Banksy toured New Orleans and mocked the locally infamous Gray Ghost in a series of news stencils.

Now, as reported in the Age the Gray Ghost seems to have got one back.

Is this a random coincidence or a shot at the heart of the mythology being created around street art in Melbourne?
