'Banksy in New Orleans for Katrina anniversary' was a story that I wrote about a few weeks ago. Since the initial Banksy New Orleans post, much of the Banksy New Orleans graffiti has been stolen or covered up.
Photos are now online and show the stolen Banksy New Orleans work or Banksy New Orleans graffiti being covered:

The Banksy New Orleans graffiti also drew attention to aspects of the Katrina disaster that I was not aware of previously - there were powerful images, such as Abraham Lincoln in a rocking chair, and the fridge piece prompted me to investigate its relevance (the 'Katrina fridge' became a symbolic reminder of the hurricane.)
The Banksy New Orleans graffiti may well be disappearing, but it persists virtually and continues to deliver an interesting alternative insight to Katrina and its after effects.

Please do not print photos with addresses or identifying street names in them or blur out those IDs
Otherwise the Ghost will get them or some fucked up art patron.
thats not the grey ghost painting on the blue building. it is a guy from the auto repair shop across the street. he painted his motorcycle club logo - gulf coast dragons

the addresses were published in a big story in the local newspaper.
Are most of these pieces gone (as in stolen/painted over) now? Was really hoping to hunt some up while over there from NZ this February. Gutted.
