Hmm, he looks strikingly similar to Chris Burden

That's what cracked me up the most about that photo; the sketch happened after the attempted bombing. If you look at the date on the sketch it says May 19th, 2010 whereas the attempted bombing was May 1. So, less than 3 weeks later he's there having his mug drawn like that.

Banksy posts his picture on his site, by taxidermot on Jun 1, 2010 18:30:49 GMT 1, is "genius" not just what someone says on a forum to express that they like something a lot...like "brilliant"..i often say "brilliant" to affirm my acceptance of another's effort..even if it is not really trully brilliant...
this piece can be viewed as a juvenile prank..or a riff on being a tourist..or commentrary on his anonymity and notoriety..or...or an appropriation of another's work as his own as a further statement of street arts demise..or a joke about one street artist encountering another..or a combination of all these or something completely different..or...or..a bad idea..
personally, i don't think it is his best work..

Exactly, plus it's infused with some wit and humor as you'd expect from Banksy. Although I don't see it as a statement about "street art" in general.
This piece in itself is not "brilliant" but the the diversity in both the thought and execution through his body of work is what makes him brilliant. This is just one small piece in that puzzle.

Banksy said a while ago that every good idea he had, he later found Blek had done first.
I wonder if he knows the Busk version?

Banksy posts his picture on his site, by My Name is Frank on Jun 3, 2010 10:41:14 GMT 1, Busk had a self portrait done, but not on An American tour! Not in Times Square. He is presenting himself humoursly as an anonymous tourist, so it's nothing like Busk's. If you're really going to say it's copied, then how about Jessica Albarn sketching him years ago? Thats the first street artist being sketched as art then isn't it? Pre dating Busk by years
