New Banksy in Bristol, by Strange Al on Apr 5, 2007 17:03:20 GMT 1, My guess would be that the new Bristol version is a fake, but who knows.
The piece has real significance on the wall in Palestine. It doesn't really work for me on some random apartment block in Bristol (and I feel that way whether it turns out to be a banksy or not). Does anyone live in Bristol and know what the significance of the building is? That may change my mind.

Johnmac - didn't read your earlier post properly - you obviously live in Bristol. Please enlighten me as to what building this has been stenciled on.

In that case, I'll be very surprised if it was stenciled by banksy. Though now that I've said that, it'll probably pop up on his website tomorrow.

New Banksy in Bristol, by stillborncrisps on Apr 7, 2007 11:00:37 GMT 1, ;D ;D ;D That is so fake - just look at the crapness of the scissors compared to the Palestine scissors. And the dashed line is wobbly and uneven. And the drips on the tag - somehow Banksy makes drips look cool, these just look like someone who's never used a spraycan before.
A piss-easy image to recreate, that could go up in seconds, in a naff location, and with no point or humour - I'm surprised forum members are even on the fence on this one. It seems very obvious to my eye.

New Banksy in Bristol, by dmandpenfold on Apr 8, 2007 20:01:06 GMT 1, would have to agree there, I'm not an expert but having seen this in Bristol and some of his much earlier work, the quality doesnt stack up. There seems to be a lot of overspray, drips and the location seems to be pretty pointless...not that this seems to have always been a motivation.

New Banksy in Bristol, by notitle on Apr 9, 2007 1:33:39 GMT 1, i'm not near bristol, so i've not seen it. i'm sure it's fake if people are saying it looks sketchy.
wouldn't be supprised to see more banksys hit the street though. the current opening 'home sweet home' image on banksy.co.uk might be hinting at it.

New Banksy in Bristol, by mammal2 on Apr 9, 2007 10:08:41 GMT 1, It would be really cool to think that this is a new banksy but I would say hand on my heart from seeing ALOT of Banksy on the streets that it is not. First and foremost is not to wipdash sort of application. That bothers me very little, but rather the location is VERY VERY BUSY. We are talking right next to a Gym, road leading to Park Street, junction to pretty much West, East, South, North Bristol. Its not out of the way in the slightest. The piece down the road on the gum clinic is still out of the way to a point. However, to be fair the amount of time hes got arrested I dont think they give a monkeys. Also its Banksy, the new golden child of the Bristol Authority! Also its a really really rubbish location! At its all about the position with the street that makes it genius.
