KING ROBBO VS. BANKSY. 2012
Of historical interest is the feud between Robbo and Banksy. The feud started in 2009 when Banksy painted over one of King Robbo’s tags in Camden. The initial tag was sprayed in 1985 underneath the British Transport Police quarters. The feud continued until King Robbo had a serious accident in 2011, leaving him in a vegetative state until he died in 2014. His real name was John Robertson. The following sequence is a tribute to Robbo, as it appeared on Banksy’s website in 2012:
