Good Luck.
new painting by "guerilla artist" Banksy is currently focus of heated argument in city of Bristol, England. painting appeared overnight on building. The leader of nearby youth club, Dennis Stinchcombe, couldn't believe his luck when he saw it and discovered it was Banksy that could be worth up to $150,000. He prised it off wall using a crowbar and stored it in the youth club. However, city mayor said Mr Stinchcombe had no right to take the painting as it was on wall of a city-owned building. The mayor wants painting put back. Stinchcombe said it would be vandalised and hopes to auction it to raise money for youth club. He has since received death threats from angry Banksy fans.

painting has been called "Mobile Lovers". It depicts man and woman embracing while checking out their mobile phones over one another's shoulder. Art by Banksy is much sought after world over. mysterious artist, who is only known by pseudonym Banksy, has become famous for paintings left on walls and buildings around world. Many have been removed by building owners and caused similar spats. Wikipedia says Banksy's work combines, "dark humour with graffiti executed in distinctive stenciling technique." Banksy's work is heavy on political and social commentary. city mayor said it was "against spirit of Banksy and street art" to remove it from where artist put it.
