This is one of my favorite Banksy works. It was a block over from my last office. Unfortunately it was defaced by some other graffiti artists. Ironic

It's zero-day art. The people who try to preserve it by bolting glass plates over the top are missing the point.

Probably meant ironic because of the nature of the specific art piece: a man pasting a "Cancelled" sign over some fake graffiti that says "Follow your dreams"

I think it's more because graffiti is, by nature, defacing. So, someone defaced a defacing.
