thumbsup Banksy

Anyone else a fan?

I think he is class. Got a phew (fake) prints and canvasses in my flat. Also, been round London a couple of times to find his stuff...

Yea, I like his work. This is a good book

Mate lived by a big bit of work in Bristol. Something original for once, and very clever

Yeah mate, got that book. Its class. He is a fcuking clever guy if you ask me. Gets across political messages through grafitti, and still no-one knows who he is...

Has made a sh!tload of cash too...

Gives you locations of a lot of his stuff. Sadly I think quite a few have been removed or defaced.

Been a fan from the early nineties when I was into myself. A lot of his early work can be found around Bristol where he's from. A truly phenomenal artist and if i'm not mistaken one of his works went for a record three hundred grand last year..

WFTE, your pic didn't come out. But I know the book you are referring to, its class.

Something I don't understand about banksy: if they don't know who he is, how do they know where to send the cheques?

I thought this was a thread about Gordon Banks, the goalkeeper. And was going to show the difference between him and that cnut gascoigne on the other thread.

For those of you not familiar with his work, here are some more examples...



Very political - this was done in Jerusalem I believe...
