Reggae Riddim professor Barrington Levy couldn’t of have said it best with his hit, “Black Roses.” As rare as the black rose is within a throng of red roses, so is the female, in a male dominated graffiti sub-culture. Each artist in the panel represents a black rose; an individual, unique, and beautiful creation that diffuses a sweet-smelling fragrance like the energetic talent she owns.

Oceanside, CA – Banksy, an internationally known graffiti artist was the initial blame of last Friday’s mural on the side of Bull Taco restaurant in Oceanside, CA. The mural was of Banky’s famous rat flying a kite in the form of a familiar sign in San Diego, cautioning motorists of crossing immigrants on the freeway lanes.
Hundreds gathered to take pictures, videos, and be a part of history in the making.
Owners of Bull Taco say they will preserve the mural by spraying a clear coat protective liquid on the entire wall.
Banky’s PR department have commented on this mural as not being the work of Banksy. However, many believe that this is in fact his work and the truth will surface on his website soon.
The following Monday a gold painted computer was left at the door step of Bull Taco. The monitor read “I don’t Wanna Die”. Those that witnessed this also believe this is a tie to the mural and a true work of Banksy.
