[Rumor has it](http://gothamist.com/2010/05/17/banksy%5Farrives%5Fin%5Fnew%5Fyork.php?ref=drewshannon.net) that [Banksy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy?ref=drewshannon.net) has just made his first New York “appearance” since 2008, and being that one of his pieces is mere blocks from my apartment, I decided to check it out on my way home from work tonight. [Like him or not](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy?ref=drewshannon.net#Controversy), his stuff is pretty cool:
