Couldn't help noticing that you seem to be a fan of Banksy, as I am meself.
So, who the fuck is he then?
Could it be...

Or...

Or is the former the same as the latter only with more charles up 'is 'ooter?
I thought this was him.

Although he is getting pretty big these days. It will get harder for him to stay out of the press.
He gets shit from people saying he's sold-out. I think he is just successful and they are jealous. :dry:
Yes I'm fan of his work too. :smilie4:

They can unswirl faces and stuff these days. :yes:
I've got all the books too.
I reckon that was a red herring like.
Still...
I hope they are all Red Herrings. Better that way.

Yes, it's pretty amazing stuff.
Wit, pathos, hard images mixed with soft.
I really like it.
Good.Quote:

Just some guy like, you know.Quote:

I don't know, that's the issue.
He's prolly the only artist from the post-graffito generation who is actively making money outside of galleries. I reckon if you explore the work, you might say that some of it is crass and obvious but when put in it's proper context, it's fantastic,

I remember walking in Barcelona and seeing this statue he'd painted in bright colours. Crazy fucker. :smilie4:

If you look at the art of a load of geniuses you would probly say the same thing. It's easy not to do that, just never have an original idea or push a boundary. The great one's do but.Quote:

To re-define public sensibilities? The Kissing Policemen have caused untold public dessent.
Isn't that what art's about?
Amongst other things, no.Quote:

It may be to make the public question their sensibilities, preconceptions and prejudices. However it shouldn't be to shape them. The viewers should do that for themselves.
Alright then.
Cunt.

A section of wall featuring a Banksy piece has just been sold on Ebay for 200K.
The winning bidder has to pay to get the wall removed and replace it, then pay for shipping.

That is exactly what banksy goes against.
If Banksy had scooped the 200 grand, I would tend to agree.Quote:

I do think, though, that the piece should be available to public viewing and not stuck in some rich fucker's vault.
I love his street art, but the whole Paris Hilton cd release was a bit cliche.
He should go public and say, nope I didn't paint that. Absolutely no way by the way.
