That time Banksy took over New York City (revisited)

Another strange benefit of working at Ogilvy was the random proximity to this important piece of modern art history. Banksy took over NYC for 31 days in NYC, with a piece of his artwork appearing each day in new, different locations, without warning. Dudes were charging admission at some spots. Covering the work with cardboard until someone paid them. Aahhh. New York.

Those were words. These are images.
