No I’ve seen these stickers in places tourists NEVER go to.

My theory is that BNE is a “tourist.” I live in Bangkok which is plastered with BNE stickers and graffiti and recently visited Kuala Lumpur.

There the same stickers and similar graffiti exist.

Interestingly those stickers were mainly found in more touristy areas, such as china town and the train stations.

I think it is possible that one person who is spending some time in each city is capable of doing exactly this.

I do remember seeing BNE graffiti and stickers couple of years ago in Bangkok already. And it is IMPOSSIBLE this to be work of one man. It is obvious even in Bangkok alone as the stickers and graffiti are EVERYWHERE, from high traffic places to small sois and back alleys. For some reason most are talking about “he”, and as in “one person”. Yea sure, one person around the world in big cities and in smallest of streets, no way.

Anyhow as the groups is intriguing but indeed should be stopped as it creates great costs to cleaning of public space. Well, everyone knows that it does not matter in dirty city of Bangkok but more developed cities sure care about the cleaning costs. Interpol to the rescue, this group should be able to be caught by cameras by now.

Right on, MongerSEA!

Never understood how it could be described as “art.” Puleese.

Born Neanderthals, the first Picasso’s were cave etchings – some preamble to graffiti – so graffiti is a primordial art form … still, BNE is a vacuous narcissist. Definitely give Banksy credit!l And yes, BNE deserves punishment for being so un-imaginative.

BNE ain’t no Banksy:

Graffiti is most definitely a form of artistic expression – it’s like saying you don’t like rap music, therefore it is not a cultural phenomenon.
