City of Bristol Considers Creating a Banksy Registry

Last Friday, we posted about the latest in a long string of people accidentally painting over beloved and, perhaps more important, very valuable street art by the international renowned Banksy, believing them to be pieces of mere regular-graffiti instead of graffiti-that-could-pay-off-your-mortgage. In that last post, we came up with the idea of selling a listing of all known Banksy work to local business, so they wouldn’t be making a million dollar mistake. The city of Bristol, the artist’s hometown, apparently reads our blog and thinks we’re brilliant because according to this story filed by the BBC, they’re planning to do just that.
