The artwork, which shows a judge hitting a protester with a gavel, was confirmed by the elusive street artist.

      It’s not. I don’t understand what makes his art so popular. To me it’s irony telling on itself. Like, as I understand, most of his stuff is suspend to be a giant middle-finger to all things trendy, but it’s nothing but. The minute that guy farts in a jar, the world will turn into one giant olfactory nerve.

      It’s popular because it’s rare? Is it popular because he personifies low hanging fruit? I mean… hitting someone with a gavel? What a surprisingly fresh take that is…

      I honestly don’t get it and I’m not trying to agitate. I’m dead serious.

        It’s pretty uninspiring artistically but at least he’s putting his fame to good use with a message slightly more controversial than ‘what if cops were gay’ or some of his other stuff. Also a very solid up purely from a graffiti perspective, that’s a big piece for a location with that much security.
