American Admires Wall Doodle, Immediately Arrested for Being Banksy

ImageAmanda WarrenActivist PostIt would seem incredible, fantastical and arbitrary that someone in North America would have to convince law enforcement that they are not in fact Banksy.Banksy - the only name known for the unidentified but famous street artist - is British. He was in the States for a month on an art tour in 2013. Incognito, he sold his artwork cheaply and is alleged to have left "exhibits" around New York before returning to his homeland.American engineer Richard Pfeiffer, age 33, swears up and down that he is not in fact the provocative elusive artist.Unfortunately for him he would have major difficulty proving it to the cops who must have been watching/listening to him and his fiance while they imbibed at an East Village coffee shop last summer. It was after admiring a "smiley" on the wall that he thought might be a Banksy piece that they had their "Gotcha!" moment and arrested him outside Third Rail Coffee shop.
