As Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Hanna raise concern, stencil-happy street artist Banksy commemorated the three-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina by producing some of his painted social commentary in the ruins of the lower ninth ward in New Orleans.

Banksy’s cloak of anonymity was finally withdrawn earlier this year. Per usual, Banksy’s timing is impeccable—the completion of this project comes just as Hurricane Gustav threatened New Orleans once more.

Said Banksy of the operation, “Three years after Katrina I wanted to make a statement about the state of the clean-up operation,” and attested that the city’s levee wall offered “the best painting surface in the state of Louisiana. (supertouchart)
