I "acquired" a stack of Banksy books and was trying to sell them on ebay last week and there was very little interest. Re-listed the books this week and they are going like hotcakes.. All thanks to his New York visit and the subsequent world-wide media coverage he managed to generate. Here's to Banksy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeizm Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 He went around a few years ago painting these 'designated graffiti area' stencils..... a few mates of mine actually pieced one of these walls which was right outside Paddington police station in the daytime (supposedly the most secure police station in England - its where they take terror suspects ect).... The police seeing this stencil on the wall just left them to paint it Edit.... Respect to Banksy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 well, that's the difference between the two of you. you go on the internet talking about what you'd 'like' to do, but never ever will. he goes into some of the most famous museums in america and makes the front page of newspapers all over the world. who can spot the difference here?

-Unztopbl750- Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Aright this thread is well dead but i fukn HAVE to have my say. Banksy may or may not be graff, really i think thats just semantics. What I have to say is that he has done some crazy boundary pushing. He is a all about quasi-anarchistic subversive type shit, and as such subverts graffitti itself. (For example see his 'Graffitti sculptures'- eg Rodin's 'the thinker' cast in bronze including drunk's traffic cone on the head and dropped in a public place like a graff piece, or framed paintings plus stencil additions, again hung in public spaces) He freely admits he stencils cuz hes shit at pieces, but who can complain when he does such different and creative shit One last word, he may have been adopted by Nathan Barley-style wankers and hence absorbed into the establishment, but that aint his fault. He is constantly inventing new shit. and soon will surpass the publicitysoaked wankfest many people seem to see him as now God i sound like a proper fuckin pretentious basterd. Just enjoy banksys work and dont bother trying to box him into categories, cuz it dun work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 i'm not sure what a 'git' is, but generally what you're seeing as 'moody' is what others think of as 'calling bullshit'. if people don't talk out their ass so frequently, i would probably spend most my time talking about puppies and tits.

8onus Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 i went over to my moms yesterday and she asked me about this, she heard him on NPR, i was like "yeah, dudes cracked crazy", it was funny, my mom is apparently a huge fan now and in not so many words said "if you're gonna continue to be a street punk why can't you do something cool like that?" eh.
