Banksy against Robbo...two legends through 1985 to 2011

this 'graffiti war' began in 1985 when Banksy painted over a Robbo's earliest pieces...:


1985. Robbo paints one of London's earliest pieces














The piece gets dogged-2006

Banksy paints a bloke "wallpapering" up the graffiti- December 2009














Two weeks later Robbos takes it as a diss, comes out of retirement and puts his name back
After months of deliberation Banksy comes up with an ingenious response
Robbo has none answer 















The wall is painted balck...none one Knows who did it















July 2010 Robbo gives where it hurts...accusing Banksy of having a career...


and black again...











January 2011...Banksy returns to the wall














Robbo has an accident and falls into a coma...no answer is possible now... and Banksy gives up this graffiti confrontation and paints a replica of original Robbo outline. November 2011
