JUSTONE Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Originally posted by caffeine@May 20 2005, 10:01 AM How does this guy not get busted? Quoted post It's because he never admits to being who he is. I've met him at a gallery he did and i wanted to ask him a couple of things about his technique but he kept saying 'i don't know what you're talking about' whith a wierd grin on his face - the guy was wearing a dress and a father christmas hat i might add. Come to think of it he was probably just a bum anyways, the point is that I don't know what I'm saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Producto Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 http://www.afflictedyard.com/banksy.htm i have mixed opinions about banksy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTONE Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 i just spent about 20 minutes reading that link and i don't know if it's banksy or the people who wrote that - but someone is a dick What exactly did banksy do to get them so pissed at him? yeah i can see the sellout thing, but some of their 'clues' went completely over my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Producto Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 i was hoping someone else would be able to make sens of it aswell, just. i cant see their main point either. As i said before, ive got mixed opinions about him. fair doo's, some of his stencils are good, but i think the public and the media seem to suck his cock. there are far more creative graffiti writers who are just branded as criminals. also, i dont like how banksy goes over other tags/throwups sometimes. just my opinion.

Quoted post for sure - i get the feeling he sees writers as his minions that just create backdrops for him. I own a really nice print by him and his stuff can be excellent, but i see what you are saying. The most impressive thing about him is how prolific he is - i've met at least two people so far who thought that he was a collective rather than an individual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Wallbanger Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Things are not neccesarily black and white... its not entirely unlikely that Banksy is a bit of a pretentious dick, and its very likely that the guy from the Afflicted Yard site is a total dick. Banksy definitely does some awesome shit though. If you push the limits that much, you can get away with being a bit of a douchebag I suppose.

religion Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I read the article... whatever. Grafitti artists are just as ego driven as gallery artists. This shit happens when you are a high profile street artist. I'm sure he was prepared for this. He blurs the line between gallery and streets, and thats a good thing in my opinion.
