Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by 10th Mountain on Oct 9, 2013 17:31:43 GMT 1, I guess this will be amazing in the flesh, really something. I would like to think that this will stay around awhile before the vultures descend with their plasma cutters to whisk it away

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by trowel on Oct 9, 2013 17:38:35 GMT 1, The figures in the car are wonderfully done, they seem to be executed in a modern take of the classic Renaissance style. It looks to me as if they are portrayed as biblical characters, maybe even martyrs? They seem to be pleading with God, you can see their pain and anguish. It's a scene of despair .For me that makes the seemingly light hearted 'banter' between the soldiers as they murder these civilians below with a 'happy go lucky' approach even more spine tingly chilling. Truly disturbing, haunting and emotional at the same time, I didn't expect to see such a powerful piece, let alone be moved by one. A masterclass.
I'm trying to work out what the original piece he's copied is.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by BK83 on Oct 9, 2013 17:39:18 GMT 1, My theory for the third image's removal: It proves the piece was likely done days (week or more?) ago, and only unveiled last night/this morning.
As I mentioned earlier, I imagine there are all manner of completed, and semi-completed, pieces behind unassuming scaffolding, fencing, barricades, etc., just waiting for unveiling...

Very poignant and chilling.

I'll take it that Rioja is inside too right  preserving this piece by documenting it before everything gets trashed or stolen...

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by fluxcapacitor on Oct 9, 2013 18:07:22 GMT 1, Incredible piece. The others were fun but all a little throw away. The original video is one of the most infamous wikileaks pieces. Leaked by Bradley, who is now in prison. Whilst those "brave" helicopter pilots were found not guilty of anything even though they killed an un-armed photographer and a dad taking his kids to school... Very sad. I think the piece looks at the state of modern warfare from crossing it with old fashioned horses and characters.

and personally, id rather not put/know the face to the name. let it be.
edit: 'put'

Clearly different from the Banksy pictured in the Mail’s big exposé back in ’08. I would say the Mail needs to have better QA systems in place but I really don’t expect too much from that paper.

I'm tempted to say the original must be something related to the four horsemen, but I've not found a match.
