Remember all those photos of Banksy works in New Orleans that circulated around the 'net last week? Looks like he's in Alabama and other parts south this week. Above, an image snapped in Birmingham (Wooster Collective via Siege). (1) Shaker Redstar at the shakesville blog has "been working in disaster recovery in post-Katrina New Orleans and the Gulf Coast since 2005." As the region geared up for Gustav during Labor Day weekend, Shaker compiled a "by the numbers" list that illustrates the lasting impact of the previous and far more devastating big storm: .008. Percentage of the rental homes that were supposed to be repaired and occupied by August 2008 which were actually completed and occupied – a total of 82 finished out of 10,000 projected. 1. Rank of New Orleans among U.S. cities in percentage of housing vacant or ruined. 1. Rank of New Orleans among U.S. cities in murders per capita for 2006 and 2007. 4. Number of the 13 City of New Orleans Planning Districts that are at the same risk of flooding as they were before Katrina. 10. Number of apartments being rehabbed so far to replace the 896 apartments formerly occupied and now demolished at the Lafitte Housing Development. 11.

Street stenciling provocateur Banksy updated his website with some photos of the work he recently did in the Big Easy and even offered up the specifics of his combat mission: striking back at Fred "the Gray Ghost" Radtke , an anti-graffiti zealot who has even earned the praise of the cops and Mayor Ray Nagin. Says Mr. Gunningham: "I came to New Orleans to do battle with the Gray Ghost, a notorious vigilante who's been systematically painting over any graffiti he can find with the same shade of grey paint since 1997. Consequently he's done more damage to the culture of the city than any section five hurricane could ever hope to achieve." Radtke has made it his mission to buff all forms of graffiti —in some cases even on private property—making him just as guilty of vandalism as the vandals he claims to be fighting.

Even though Banksy’s “art” in Ensley is gone, we believe the conversation about what it means is far from over. The questions that remain include discerning the difference [...] ...

Banksy is in the news again this week. First because he tried to donate a piece of art to the Labour Party in the UK and second because he is currently taking a tour across America spreading his politically-toned outdoor urban art.

It was interesting to note the diverse cross section of the local community that were interested in his work. Unfortunately it is now covered with perspex to stop it being vandalised.
