Not even Meh, I’d flat out argue it’s ugly. Maybe I just don’t get it, but it’s a giant eyesore imo
Agreed. Not one of my fave banksys.
He spruced up the neighborhood!
Precisely.
Before the artist confirmed it was his piece of work, Islington councillor Flora Williamson said it would be "incredible" to have a Banksy artwork "right in the middle of social housing and one of the poorest parts of the borough".
Spray-on community revitalization and economic development
His work almost never benefits the community though. Councils will actively remove it or individuals will tear down walls just to sell it for private gain.

Nobody really reads resumes anymore. And I know this because mine has had "secretly banksy" on it, right between advanced Excel and intermediate SQL, for the last 7 years.
Not a single person has mentioned it, which is doubly strange because I definitely have been asked, "When you say advanced Excel; advanced in what way?" - which, I'll grant you, is the obvious question anytime someone puts that on their resume.
Or maybe people can tell it's a joke and don't feel the need to address it?
It literally never occurred to me that it was just a lame joke. Maybe I'm projecting since I never read resumes.
It's a bit meh, isn't it?
Look, they can't all be hits, okay?
