In pictures: Is ‘Yanoe’ Brisbane’s own Banksy?

Mysterious graffiti tags have been popping up in prominent, daring locations across Brisbane.
A graffiti artist known only as “Yanoe” appears to have gone to extreme effort, climbing precariously above highways and along rail overpasses to make his name known around Brisbane.
Sub-tropic located “Yanoe” tags in several prominent locations across Brisbane, including tags over the Captain Cook Bridge and the Countess Street rail overpass.

you cant be serious. This is just another vandal with zero artistic talent scaling structures scribbling a word that makes no sense. If you had any street art knowledge you would never compare this untalented kid to the likes of Banksy!
Hi Tim, Thanks for your comment. While I don’t entirely agree with you (I think some of these guys do have artistic talent, nevermind my views on “vandalism”), I would also not compare this guy to Banksy. The headline was added by my sub-editor. (Sub-editors; trouble-makers the world over! – ed.)
