NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY~ “BLOCKED MESSAGES”
Today’s piece is a reaction to a rejected op-ed that Banksy tried to submit to the New York Times. You can read it at the bottom of the pictorial. It comes from his official website: Better Out Than In. Notice that the message on the wall is in view of the ‘new’ World Trade Center.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY ~ “TWIN TOWERS FLOWER EXPLOSION”
Depicted below in my customary varied films perspective (Hipstamatic on iPAD) is the newest piece from Banksy, located on Staple Street in Tribeca. Here is a stencil of the Twin Towers with what appears to be a Dahlia sticking out of it. The dahlia seems to represent the first explosion on 09/11/01, plus flowers generally symbolize hope. From a website on flowers and meanings, it says this about the dahlia:
Dahlia’s are spicy flowers, and their meanings range from a sign of warning, to change, to travel, to even a portent of betrayal. The varied symbolic meanings of the dahlia make this flower a wild card.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY ~ “THIS IS MY NEW YORK ACCENT”
“Hello, and welcome to Lower Manhattan,” the message begins, as elevator music plays. “Before you, you will see a ‘spray art’ by the artist Ban-sky. Or maybe not; it’s probably been painted over by now.”
This is the latest foray into street art by Banksy, the elusive British artist, and it is perhaps the most public and expansive of his works, taking over not just a patch of sidewalk or a shop wall but a whole city. Titled “Better Out Than In,” the exhibit was announced in his usual mysterious, pop-up fashion.
