I agree. The Damon/Banksy pics are v interesting though. I've also seen the guy in those pics down POW many times. Maybe the real Banksy was taking the photos?

As it should have been, because that's banxy the dancer from Swindon not banksy the street artist from Bristol.

Hate sounding like a broken record but in the last update the note stated that anyone who is described as good at drawing doesn't sound like Banksy. So this drawing is pretty good right I have always felt that Banksy did things very deliberately and most times with a decent amount of thought. That note was responsive to the media something I just don't find his style. I know he has stated in the past that he's not good at drawing hence the stencils. But that note is stuck in my head as not written by the man. Opinions?

Opinions? Well then, my first opinion is that the comment posted on his site about not being able to draw is spot on, sounds exactly like his usual self-effacing self. My second opinion is that his drawing is even better than his stenciling, although I know more about drawing than I do about stenciling. Third opinion: I have always felt the masked gorilla was his comment about how the media enlarged him from a monkey to a gorilla. And my final opinion is that this is my all time favorite photo of Banksy that, for the life of me, I can't remember where I found. Anybody know?

Banksy Exposed, by becksaboo on Jul 30, 2008 18:56:32 GMT 1, the second pic with damon is taken down the road a bit hence the writing not being there and just because he's stencilling a rat, it doesn't mean it's banksy- eine has said he used to spray rats up for him so the guy in the pic is prob a mate/someone from pow.
melfesance- that pic came from some guy who came on the forum saying his mate had loads of pics of banksy and that was one of them.
also at the end of the day, does it really matter??
not all mysteries need to be solved.

Banksy Exposed, by melfeasance on Jul 30, 2008 19:50:10 GMT 1, I found that photo a few years ago, published on an Internet site (some place like Wired) in an article about Banksy, so someone must own the copyright. I'd like to know so I can credit the photographer. Aside from being a well executed photograph, I like it because it gives insight into the artist without revealing everything. You know how that goes, art isn't worth snot if you have to explain it. Whether Banksy's identity matters or needs to be solved is not for me to say.

Banksy Exposed, by stender on Jul 31, 2008 20:33:26 GMT 1, What is severnshed? I was recently offered a so called banksy original from a guy who claimed to have worked in the same studio as him. The painting looks nothing like anything I've seen before and is just signed with a B. He said Banksy shared a studio and he was given it 10 years ago.
