www.banksy.co.uk site update, by Joe J on Mar 21, 2008 11:00:56 GMT 1, Just had a look at the Banksy site, its been updated.
(Sorry if its been mentioned recently).
www.banksy.co.uk
Banksy has changed his 'Tag' upfront.
The intro page is incredible. Bloody cracker image.
Also the 'Media' (I thought it was called 'First Aid') has been added/changed in the indoor section, which means to me it might be a print in the making...
Great color scheme to, its on a olive green background. For me this is my favorite Banksy image.
There's a few new hi-res images in the shop.
One I'm happy to see of 'Stop & Search'
www.banksy.co.uk/shop/images/shop%20large/stopandsearch.jpg
For me this sketch explains why Banksy in his LA show featured an elephant painted to look like it was apart of the furniture.
Plus a heap more. Enjoy. ;D

Yeah your right Leumadarnley, it was always called 'Media'. 
The name just got lost in translation whenever I recalled it.

www.banksy.co.uk site update, by woodsman on Mar 21, 2008 13:39:17 GMT 1, "For me this sketch explains why Banksy in his LA show featured an elephant painted to look like it was apart of the furniture."
The elephant in the room (also elephant in the living room, elephant in the corner, elephant on the dinner table, elephant in the kitchen, and horse in the corner) is an English idiom for an obvious truth that is being ignored or goes unaddressed. It is based on the idea that an elephant in a small room would be impossible to overlook.
It sometimes is used to refer to a question or problem that is obvious, but which is ignored out of embarrassment or taboo. The idiom also implies a value judgment that the issue ought to be be discussed openly.
The term is often used to describe a hot potato that involves a social taboo, such as racism or religion, which everyone understands to be an issue but which no one is willing to admit.
The idiom is commonly used in addiction recovery terminology to describe the reluctance of friends and family of an addicted person to discuss the person's problem, thus aiding the person's denial.
The idiom is also occasionally invoked as a "pink elephant", possibly in reference to alcohol abuse, or for no other reason than that a pink elephant would be more visible than a normal elephant

Impressive, thank you. I never heard of the expression.
Also thanks for pointing out the Graffiti Heroes #3.

2) do you think banksy did the stencil and added the graffiti himself...or was it a stencil that was then tagged over by other people?

it's possible that the wall was already heavily tagged and he had a positive stencil and white washed the surrounding area?

that was my thoughts - guess you'd have to see more of the wall to know for sure?

Same for the Welcome to London sketch, kind of scratching my head about both of them. Ah well, I suppose it had to happen at some time.
The puma on the other hand is brilliant!
Thanks for the pics.

The welcome to London is taking the piss. You cant get a decent flat bigger than a cardboard box for less than 300k!
