The Walking Dog (Choose your weapon) pays homage to Keith Haring's 'Barking Dog', which is often said to be a man's best friend, but in Banksys depcition it is mans best weapon.
Where was Banksy's Walking the Dog (Choose your Weapon)
Walking the Dog Choose Your Weapon first appeared on a wall outside The Grange pub in Bermondsey, London, in 2010, soon after it first appeared it was boarded up. Soon after it reappeared covered in Perspex.
Banksy started as a freehand graffiti artist and as one of Bristols DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ), with Kato and Tes. He was inspired by local artists and his work was part of the larger Bristol underground scene. From the start he used stencils as elements of his freehand pieces, too. By 2000 he had turned to the art of stencilling after realising how much less time it took to complete a piece. He claims he changed to stencilling whilst he was hiding from the police under a train carriage, when he noticed the stencilled serial number and by employing this technique, he soon became more widely noticed for his art around Bristol and London.
