TCR in Brooklyn sent us an email yesterday to
alert us to the fact that it looks like href="http://www.banksy.co.uk">Banksy just got bit big time by IDW
Publishing. As TCR says in his email, this type of stuff is unfortunately
happening far too often. To rip off Banksy, clearly the most well known and
respected street artist in the World today, in such a brazen and blatent manner
is fucking shocking and ridiculous in how obvious it is.

Seeing one
of our favorite artists ripped off so blatently is infuriating.
