Ripped Off


Drama.

There has been a lot of talk in the street art community recently about who is ripping off who? Sometimes it is clear what is being ripped, and sometimes it is a lot more vague.

Here are some painted postal slaps from AJL accusing Curly of ripping him off. But what is puzzling about the reference, is that the quote refers to a Banksy piece ('I'm out of bed and dressed-what more do you want?'), and Curly did have a sticker that said 'I'm out of bed and ripping off a famous Banksy - what more do you want?, so we are not sure what this has to do with AJL?

Maybe there is more to it than that, but since these 2 stickers are the only things we've seen on the streets from AJL in over a month, and since Curly is a New York based artist who came through town a few weeks ago, we don't even know what Curly could have seen of AJL's to be referenced?
