Seemingly still on his tour of the US, we hadn’t heard much from the British street artist since his endeavors in New Orleans. Recently, Banksy commissioned professional painters Colossal to put up his I Love NY rat piece in Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood. The three story high work features a very ironic message, which we have come to expect throughout the years. More images after the jump.

Posted by: Waffles & Beatz Blog » Blog Archive » On The Run / September 29th, 2008 at 8:31 pm I like the idea however commissioning a set of artists to paint a piece you designed is kind of lame. However, Banksy is the man.

Posted by: black fryday / September 29th, 2008 at 11:17 pm What the hell is the “very ironic message”?
Posted by: Um... / September 30th, 2008 at 12:29 am Not sloppy, just a different type of method used. Someones jealous? He’s an artist, hop off…
Posted by: Gimmeyoshoes / September 30th, 2008 at 1:18 am It’s great to see these artists taking up spots in NYC. but I guess old Banksy is keeping with his quote about Blek Le Rat. “Everything I’ve done Blek Le Rat did 20 years ago”. But you gotta love it anyways.

Posted by: np2fast / September 30th, 2008 at 11:35 am man. all his work has such meaning to it. the irony of a rat wearing a I <3 New York shirt is genius. Rats do LOVE NY..

Posted by: bob / October 2nd, 2008 at 9:57 am Colossal did this. To exactly what degree is Banksy involved?

Posted by: alexander worthington iii @ steelcloset.com / October 2nd, 2008 at 6:50 pm The odd thing to me is that Banksy’s street pieces are usually a stencil job.
That looks like it’s just one of Banksy’s drawings, but enlarged. It’s not typical of Banksy outdoor pieces.
