Skateboard Triptych – Grey Ghost inspired by BANKSY

After the devastating hurricane Katrina left it’s mark on New Orleans, Banksy visited the city in 2008 to leave behind his particular brand of social and political commentary on Hurricane Katrina and its effects on New Orleans culture. He was coming to do battle with the Gray Ghost. The Gray Ghost aka Fred Radtke is an anti-graffiti artist, he made it his mission to erase every bit of graffiti in the city long before Banksy’s arrival, sweeping down the street with his gray paint roller in hand . Two years later, only a single Banksy work has escaped the gray paint roller, and only because it’s behind plexiglass. The Gray Ghost himself became the subject of some of Banksy’s New Orleans work, depicted as a bent figure blotting out color on the city’s walls.
