    Richard Hambleton was an unsung genius of the same era and community that gave birth to Haring, Baquiat, and many other greats. There's no Banksy without Hambleton. This mural is a wonderful tribute, but unfortunately, I don't expect it to last long before it's tagged and defaced by wannabe street artists who have no idea of, nor respect for, the true artists that paved the way.
