DEATH TO BANKSY!!!, by Deleted on Dec 6, 2011 21:50:27 GMT 1, Calm down, I'm not trying to incite a Christmas riot - well, maybe just a tiny one  Just passing on news of a print coming up @ 1XRUN.
"Death To Banksy" by Ryan McCann. It's available 29 December @ 1800hrs GMT (London) - double check the time, as timezones aren't my thing 
"In the manner in which they operate street artists and banks have a lot in common. As a simple narrative this piece depicts street artist Banksy beginning an ironic piece on the side of a Bank of America building. The bank manager recognizes what is happening, and as if in a battle of ironies he dons Banksyโs familiar smiley face and in standard banking protocol, shoots him in the back. Noticing that the artist had only got as far as to write โbankโ the manager picks up the cans of spray paint, takes his wall back and finishes the banks familiar moniker. That is a description in 99 words. There are 901 more hidden in this piece and if I told you them all that just wouldnโt be any fun."
- Ryan McCann
Full details here: 1xrun.com/runs/Death_to_Banksy
More details on the artist here: www.ryanmccannart.com
That is all

You sir, are spot on and win a prize for your sartorial eagle-eyed-ness!

gota disagree with the ill fitting suit i think they look best when worn like that, and a massive pair of Adidas high tops!

DEATH TO BANKSY!!!, by maumau93 on Dec 6, 2011 23:48:49 GMT 1, the shadow is a bit off cos its coming off his head at one angle and his feet at another.
but still like the image and can appreciate the amount of time and skill thats gone into painting it.
just not sure i could see it on my wall

Agree, its quite clever, and worth a look on its own merits, anyone calling this poo right off the bat or just plain nitpicking it really needs a 'Tude adjustment!

Again, the shadow is off for a reason. It forms Banksys "Choose Your Weapon"- character.

not sure why people are saying this is awful, there is far worse out their that doesnt get this type of reaction, i think this might be a case of the mob mentality Derren Brown was on about...

Compared to say a Gorilla holding a sparkly mask? But apparently that has a mcuh deeper meaning if you listen to some of the drivel people post
