Street art manages to inherit positives by its very nature, ie being viewed by lots of diverse people, but perhaps loses some things too. If the bike had been placed against the wall with the image in the background, and the bubble hadn't been edited, what would the census be then? If it was an advert for supreme or something the artist likes would it be a good or bad thing? I guess the artist at least needs to say wether or not they want to be associated with the brand. The fact these guys just grafted the bike in there says they're assholes, but it is an interesting conversation. Looks like a piece of shit bike, Chris, New Zealand.
