Banksy – The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill Opening in NYC
by L.A. Ruano, October 9, 2008

Looks like Banksy’s made his stay in New York a longer one than anticipated, long enough to open up his own store. Featuring animals out of their norm, or at least what animals look like after been processed, the store boasts a unique collection. A vastly different approach than the usual work associated with the British street artist, his latest endeavors give the Banksy fan a similar message in a different way, which is certainly a trait very few artists possess. The store can still considered street art according to Banksy, since it can be seen from the street everyday until October 31st. For those located in NY be sure to stop by and see what all the talk is about.

Well I think that Banksy is the truth too, how can you not get what that means? Douche…
And Banksy has been around since early 90s if not before, there were obviously people before him but he is famous for anti corporate shit so you’re a douche too.
Douche.
Word to your mother.
animal rights is a fad to this guy he makes a mockery of everything animal rights protestors protest about. you can make art about this but this isnt the way as this is bad art better to make good art but he isnt a good artist
hes an artist, he doesn’t need to sell tees and jeans. read some Ad Reinhardt
How long is this show running? I’m from the Uk and i want to come over and check it out
Banksy shuld collab with sum streetwear brands
there has to be something wrong with the world when being for something such as animal rights or anything else is just a fad or as some people would like to put it “so 90’s”
i was there tonight. its so much better in person. place was packed. no one had any idea what it was.
Found a video of the store. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC9O7DWE-UU

Actually anti corporate is SO RIGHT NOW
And the chicken nuggets with the sauce are hilarious
Wish I was in NY right now to check out some of the work he or she is doing. Has anyone figured out who Banksy is yet? Anyway all of the wierd sausages you see and the fish sticks in the bowl are actually animatronic. Heres a link showing you some video from teh store: http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2008/10/in-videos-banksys-village-pet-store-and-charcoal-grill-art.html
