Well that didn’t take long. Less than 24 hours after Banksy’s latest street art started popping up around NYC, its been vandalized. The words “Free Henry” were painted on several of the high profile pieces, but you’ll never guess who stenciled their name in credit: Poster Boy! But he’s in jail and although he will be released on bail in a few days according to his book publisher, Henry Matyjewicz hasn’t left Rikers Island yet. So how can this be?
We can only come up with three plausible explanations:
1) Poster Boy went into deep meditation and figured out how to astrally project his street art. 2) Poster Boy is a movement and Henry Matyjewicz is just the patsy that happens to be around during every arrest. 3) Someone else painted it to make it look like it’s the work of a collective. Occam’s Razor people.

Worst Banksy vandalism ever.
come on guys?, #2 yes 2,, PB is a large group of people that turn ugly ads into art, lets work together here, FREE HENRY
Instead of going to a scheduled court date where the judge would have probably given Posterboy minor charges, dude didn't appear and expects sympathy?
Hmmmmm. the SMART CREW sticker in the bottom right corner is a dead give away.
'Vandalizing the vandalism', Got to love the irony.
And at least its for a cause, rather than sheer boredom. So with that, I'm with Sparky on this one. FREE HENRY!

Uhm. No, smart crew put a sticker there for coverage cause people ride banksy's dick and stream endless amounts of photos online. 100% sure they had nothing to do with putting a pre-made stencil aiding posterboy. Guaranteed one of his lackey friends did this.
GO SPLASHERS OF NYC – YEAH!!!
