Is Banksy in New York City?!!!?!, by BK83 on Jan 18, 2012 19:05:00 GMT 1, Calidave - Wearology is having a laugh, Mate. It is not Banksy, not by a longshot.
It is just someone using the image for it's ubiquity.

The 30 Harshest Artist-on-Artist Insults In Histor, by BK83 on Dec 28, 2011 15:59:09 GMT 1, Powhida on Murakami? Come on now. I doubt Murakami would care what Powhida has said about him! Nice guy - don't get me wrong - he was a friend of mine's roommate for years. But honestly, Powhida isn't even in the same league... Just comes off as a missed attempt in provocation.

A Banksy-inspired City!, by BK83 on Dec 23, 2011 16:44:19 GMT 1, A Happy, Flourishing City With No Advertising
www.good.is/post/a-happy-flourishing-city-with-no-advertising/?utm_content=image&utm_medium=hp_carousel&utm_source=slide_2
In 2006, Gilberto Kassab, mayor of Sรฃo Paulo, Brazil, passed the "Clean City Law." Citing growing concerns about rampant pollution in his city, Kassab decided enough was enough. But this was no ordinary piece of pollution legislation. Rather than going after car emissions or litterbugs, Kassab went after the billboards. Yes, you read that right: Kassab wanted to crack down on "visual pollution."
Saying that visual pollution was as burdensome as air and noise pollution, Kassab banned every billboard, poster, and bus ad in Sรฃo Paulo with the Clean City Law. Even business signage had to go. Within months, city authorities had removed tens of thousands of ads both big and smallโmuch to the dismay of business owners, who said the ban would surely ruin them.
Five years later, have all the businesses in Sรฃo Paulo gone under? Hardly. In fact, most citizens and some advertising entities report being quite pleased with the now billboard-less city. A survey this year found that a 70 percent of residents say the Clean City Law has been "beneficial." "Sรฃo Pauloโs a very vertical city," Vinicius Galvao, a journalist, said in an interview with NPR. "That makes it very frenetic. You couldnโt even realize the architecture of the old buildings, because they were just covered with billboards and logos and propaganda. And there was no criteria."
Where businesses are concerned, it turns out some advertisers are actually thankful for the ban, as it's forced them to reevaluate and improve. "Companies had to find their own ways to promote products and brands on the streets," Lalai Luna, co-founder of ad agency Remix, told the Financial Times last year. "Sรฃo Paulo started having a lot more guerilla marketing [unconventional strategies, such as public stunts and viral campaigns] and it gave a lot of power to online and social media campaigns as a new way to interact with people."
Anna Freitag, the marketing manager for Hewlett-Packard Brazil, said her company had never considered how inefficient billboards and the like were until they were illegal. "A billboard is media on the road," she told the FT. "In rational purchases it means less effectiveness... as people are involved in so many things that it makes it difficult to execute the call to action."
If you're thinking Sรฃo Paulo's ad ban isn't replicable in your city because it's some South American backwater, think again. Sรฃo Paulo is the largest metropolis in the Southern Hemisphere, and, with about 12 million residents, the 7th-most-populous city in the world. Big cities don't need to plaster ads everywhere to existโthough you'd never know it looking at Times Squareโand even if they did, Kassab and his supporters haven't banned all advertising. All they've asked is for companies to stop cramming commercials down people's throats while simultaneously ruining their city's beauty.
Estimates say some Americans now look at upwards of 4,000 ads per day. When is enough enough?

Banksy Gorilla Print Release - POW, by BK83 on Dec 6, 2011 17:16:55 GMT 1, Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this image put up on Banksy's homepage along with a witty quote when the Daily Mail did the expose on him?? ...what was the street piece? anyone have a link?? Was there some specific context? location etc?? Perhaps I'm missing something (maybe the POW pic is cropped) but this image on it's own says absolutely nothing... not that that is bad in itself, but unusual for Banksy
LOL

Obey OCCUPY HOPE, by BK83 on Nov 22, 2011 19:53:54 GMT 1, Fairey's new 'Hope' poster is honestly terrible. I'm a little perplexed that he even released this image.
And - for the record - Obama may not have lived up to everyone's (unrealistic) expectations, but I for one think he is doing a solid job. He was left with a mess in the White House courtesy of George Bush and he is doing only so much that is possible to keep things stable in a very unstable global economy.
A second term for Obama is an absolute necessity for the United States to really get back on its feet.

POW Coming Soon...., by BK83 on Oct 25, 2011 20:49:07 GMT 1, is this really art? or graphic design...
Pictures On Walls aren't really in the business of quote-unquote "fine art". They work primarily with illustrators, graphic designers and graphic artists in an attempt to offer affordable multiple/s editions.
The fact that a few of the artists on their roster have hit the big time is in no small part to the intense press push that surrounded Banksy and Laz's strides into the major leagues of the art world. And of course other Lazarides stablemates.
Nonetheless, It IS art - but only if you want it to be. Otherwise, it is still art, just not maybe "fine art".
Also, given that someone on here posted something like "I could do that" "My kid could do that." I suggest you take a look at Craig Damrauer's New Math series. The 'Modern Art' print might tickle your fancy... www.morenewmath.com/69
