when graffiti is **** its ugly, but when its good - its priceless.

I am equally if not more IRRITATED by the advertisement that's freaking everywhere.

You guys never experienced it... but having grown up in communist USSR the world looks so much cleaner without advertising. That's the biggest eyesore in the world.

so what does "BNE" stand for? :roll:

now that could be a whole thread in itself!!

But if, as popular rumour goes, he is a graffiti artist called Benet, then BNE could just be a way of shortening his name.

My favourite suggestion from the numerous graffiti sites was that it stood for 'Be Nowhere Else'

:D

This story is getting a lot of play on the global news networks at the moment. I've heard from friends who worked together on the project (link below) that the guy is Swedish.

One thing to notice is that the "hand" writing for all the spray painting is the same.

If this really is one guy doing ALL of this, it's very impressive.

Destructive, but impressive.

Its one guy.

S/He is a busy guy as I have seen more BNE around the country and the region.

Why destructive Rob?

It's destructive because he is defacing public and private property.

Some private property deserves defacement given some of the large billboards and advertising crap that we are all subjected too on a daily basis.

I actually think that s/he generally does a skillful job of marking most, not all, of his sites in a fairly innocuous manner.

"BANGKOK ? Canadian expatriate Jamie Redwood filed a police report yesterday after finding his entire one-room studio apartment plastered with BNE stickers.

When the 27-year-old expatriate teacher woke up at 3 pm on Sunday, he was startled to discover a black-and-white BNE sticker affixed to his mini-fridge door. Further inspection of his apartment revealed that the stickers were ?fucking everywhere,? according to Redwood.

?I don?t really appreciate this BNE person coming into my apartment,? said Redwood.

BNE tags have appeared in unexpected places in recent days as the graffiti artist responsible for them has apparently run out of blank urban surfaces to tag. Last week, seventy-four-year-old retired secretary Bonnie Mitchell, who is visiting Thailand with her husband Frank on a final vacation before they die, was spotted walking down Sukhumvit Road unaware that a BNE sticker had been affixed to her forehead. On the same day, witnesses reported three German ladies shopping on Silom Road with the letters ?B,? ?N,? and ?E? spray-painted across their respective rear ends.

No one has yet identified what the letters stand for or who is behind the proliferation of the BNE tag throughout Bangkok and around the world.

Not surprisingly, Lumpini police who received Redwood?s report claimed they had no idea what Redwood was talking about.

?I took them like ten meters outside the Lumpini Police Station before I found one to show them and they were like ?So what? It?s just a sticker.? Then they urine-tested me,? said Redwood.

A private investigator hired by Redwood agreed that it does in fact appear that the ?BNE Bandit? is running out of ideas. After a lengthy examination of Redwood's apartment, the investigator, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, ?I'd thought I'd seen it all in this business. Then I put down the toilet seat.?"

BNE maybe stands for the King maybe?

Whoever does this must have no life and alot of money because it is all over Thailand! I seen in every corner of Thailand...

How could nobody see this happening? Someone must find him..or her...

And notice that a lot of the spray painting is in the same "hand writing" or style. Most likely the same guy...

I was looking at BNE 'art' the other day plastered all over the lamp post and I was thinking how talented he must be to produce simple font stickers and plaster them everywhere... he is a tool

Its not art really is it.

Its all about notoriety, who can get ''up'' most, much like who can drive the fastest car, who can get the biggest muscles in the gym, who can grow the fattest carrot, all pretty much useless but in their own individual way a skill that a particular person has and they enjoy doing.

BNE is in his field of slapping stickers to a wall, the best there is, tool or not.
