Just went to this thing today. Crazy shit Banksy’s doing these days...
If you live in the area and get a chance before Halloween, definitely worth while. A little small, but awesome.

Pictures on my blog.

    for someone who practically doesn’t exist he sure gets around. I always wonder how he funds these projects?

    The price that Brad Pitt & Angelina paid for one of his pieces last year is enough to pay for a couple projects

    Amen. Someone today told me that a lot of building owners actually commission him or give him ad rights to the buildings...

    The videos make a lot more sense than just the still frames.

    Still I would expect more from him.

    Take the money and run

    This is one of banksy’s early works and it is opposite my aunts house here in Bristol.

    There is a guy who owns a pub in Bristol where Bansky had done a piece of work and he’s had that part of the wall removed because people have tried to nick it loads of times (pinch it).

    It’s lush living in bristol sometimes :)

    For me this is Banksy trying to establish himself amongst the contemporary art scene. He has gone from street to gallery and his work is changing rapidly. I was lucky enough to go to one of his illegal shows in London about 7 years ago. I donno what I think of his new stuff but as a name he is HUGE.

    Palestine, while the guards with the sniper rifles in the towers looked on.

    And my absolute favorite piece.

    despite the long lines, i went on saturday and was kind of disappointed. while i like the message, the whole thing just kind of hits you over the head a little too much. still worth checking out i guess.

    sure is nice living in NYC

    I took this pic Liverpool. I don’t like the direction that his installation is going. I just like a big stencil on a wall but maybe this is more effective

    another new banksy piece!

    Photobucket

    "Another legal commissioned billboard was recently created by Banksy. This time on Houston & McDougall, the billboard painted by Colossal Media on behalf of Banksy features the familiar rat motif with the statement “There’s no such thing as good publicity…” with the small reference to Fox News in the bottom corner."
