Banksy

[rockyracoon]

God, I wish he'd come and graffitti my front door, our friends across the pond are going made for him.

[slinky.kate]

eh'who's banksy?

[Old_Geezer]

I wish he'd stick to canvas. Graffiti is not to be encouraged.

A graffiti artist who's found fame by being secretive.

Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling technique. Wikipedia

I hate graffiti! I think it defaces a neighbourhood.

[Robinia]

yes, he can come and make my walls interesting too, inside or out.

[Ratty2E]

I love Banksy, I'd happily let him 'decorate' my walls. And for the street art haters he's even done one to give you food for thought

he has had a book out for a couple of years, it's not cheap but the young kids seem to buy it, does quite well.

[rockyracoon]

I like his work and my son loves him, where does he earn his money though, I know he has a book, but before that, how did he earn a living?

[mikey4444]

Yeah....I wish somebody would scribble graffiti all over my home town.

Oh...wait...they already have, all over the bus shelters, walls to the Cemetery, all the local coal trains, etc.

Graffiti is just a euphemism for vandalism, no more, no less.

I'm with the other old grouches here, I hate graffiti.

[mikey4444]

Graffitti is "street art" now apparently !

You couldn't make it up !

[rockyracoon]

If I made my front door worth 400k, I wouldn't be moaning I can tell you.

[EvianBaby]

I love Banksy. I'm a bit obsessed with him actually. But did you know that he won't verify any of his street art now so that people don't go and rip walls down to try and flog it. You could just do a bit of stencilling on your front door and claim I was him. Who's going to tell you you're wrong ;)

[EvianBaby]

Mikey, have you ever seen any of his works?

[sherrardk]

Looks like he might have been outed - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2451152/Is-Banksy-Elusive-graffiti-artist-pictured-van-broke-installing-artwork-New-York.html

I don't think many people could be mistaken for Banksy Evain, but it's a thought....Get your spray cans out rocky. :o)

[rockyracoon]

I've got a can each of gold and silver glitter sprays left over frm last Christmas, d'ya reckon they would work.

[sherrardk]

I've got a can of pink you can have.

[rockyracoon]

Great stuff, I can do a really tacky 'Bansky' style picture on the door. I ideas for the message it needs to send out :)
