Title: OK...I'm impressed!
Post by: Rauville on October 30, 2013, 01:52:02 PM
Who else other than Banksy could buy a painting from a thrift store in NYC for $50...add a German officer to it...donate it back to the thrift store...and see this happen? Good for the charity!

So? Let me make sure I understand this. He bought the painting then added the officer to the painting?
This is crazy.
Definitely great for the charity.
