Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by Dr Plip on Oct 14, 2014 11:22:31 GMT 1, Thanks for the link.
I think this is just a case of seeing something that isn't really there. Humans see faces in things. It's leftover from the time when we were all apes and the jungle wanted to eat us.
You only need a few well-placed dots to make a face. Sometimes we see faces in things. Upload a photo of beans on toast to Facebook, and it'll probably ask you "who is this?".
You can see faces in quite a few Banksy works. I would put it down to how the paint is applied (and no, not in a "painting a face" kind of application), although sometimes it'll be as a result of the surface he's painted on.
Here are a couple of photos of recent Banksy works where you can see faces if you look hard enough:
 
Edit: There's some technical jargon on Wikipedia or summin' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by wisky on Oct 15, 2014 9:20:58 GMT 1, Hey, I cannot find the original article for love nor money, which basically states that there is hidden messages/clues in some Banksy prints, so I have to take the banter from you's lot with a pinch of salt.......
BUT, my conclusion is that the few connectives that I have found in a few days, especially the original wall sprayed GWB with 20 in the balloon, leads me to believe that there is truth in there being cryptic clues in some prints and that has further lead me to believe that Damien Hirst IS banksy and that this fact is the cryptic clue in the prints...... I will not post any more views on this subject!
Please do not dismiss my theory, look into it!

Banksy is way "bigger" than Hirst. And everybody knows that the rule of thumb in this case is : If someone is also someone else you should name the real person first.
And in other words; You think Damien Hirst does not really exists?.... Please don't let the peeps from the hirst.proboard forum get wind of this.....
And to be honest i am very interested in your view on this subject!

I think you should swap the two names in this sentence: "...lead me to believe that Damien Hirst IS banksy .." into "...lead me to believe that Banksy IS Damien Hirst..". Banksy is way "bigger" than Hirst. And everybody knows that the rule of thumb in this case is : If someone is also someone else you should name the real person first.

Don't you go ruining this thread with a solution and some logic ............he probably found it days ago but by then it was too late as the aliens had visited him and told him to keep it a secret.

I have read so much info on banksy this week that I could write a biography on him!
I made the mistake of mentioning the Damien Hirst connection, which I see online yesterday and which has totally watered down the original subect......
I tried to start a serious thread, but can count on one hand the logical replys that I have recieved, I am just going to let it go!

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by Deleted on Oct 16, 2014 0:52:55 GMT 1, Just read an article online about Banksy's 'cryptic messages' in his prints - Da Vinci code style - and it mentions the CM in the signed No 20 GWB and more in other editions! Are these on all prints or just a few and if so, which ones? What are these cryptic messages and what do they mean? I see messages in clouds sometimes.
One can stencil an image on a wall and leave people to make up their own minds about hidden or cryptic messages and symbolism.
and people will always find some hidden meaning because of the angle of the ballon from the ground and the building a stencil has been placed on etc.
DaBanksy code.
Or is this thread just a roundabout way of saying that Banksy could be Damien Hirsts Stig?
