NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY ~ “CRAZY HORSES ATTACK!”
The accompanying audio—which is not on his 1-800 number yet, but is on his website—comes from the audio recording of an attack on Iraqi civilians in Baghdad in 2007 that was given by Chelsea Manning to Wikileaks. The callsigns of the two Apache helicopters involved in the attack were “Crazyhorse 1/8” and “Crazyhorse 1/9.” At least 12 people were killed in the attack, including two journalists working for Reuters, and 2 children were wounded. One of the American soldiers involved can be heard remarking, “Well, it’s their fault for bringing kids into a battle.”- From THE GOTHAMIST.COM

BROOKLYN (RED HOOK,) NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY~ “BROKEN HEARTS CAN STILL FLY”
This piece has already been destroyed, so I am very happy that I got it while it was still in its purest form. Bandaids patching up the heart in so many places. In my opinion, it’s saying that no matter how many times your heart gets broken, you can still recover and your heart can still be light and open enough to fly towards its next big love.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY ~ “A DOG PEEING ON A HYDRANT”
…At the very least, the information hotline is live (1-800-656-4271, #2). For someone who has totally convulsed New York City with what’s probably the biggest scavenger hunt in history, Banksy somehow managed to stay self-deprecating about his work.
The narrator on the hotline opens his description of the latest piece with: “Are you’re looking at one of the great artworks of the 21st century? If so, you’re in the wrong place. You should be looking at a stencil of a dog peeing on a hydrant.” For more:http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2013/10/banksys_third_a.php
