Banksy Street Art • Tesco Generation, by melfeasance on Mar 3, 2008 20:43:41 GMT 1, Generally its nicer to let the photographer post their own pictures, rather than assuming you can just take them....but thats just me of course.
Well, I have always credited photographs and quotes with links to their owners. I've probably done it with yours, HowAboutNo. My apologies, I can't help myself, sometimes a thread just needs illustrating. May I add your photo - with credit and link - to the thread over on Flickr?
Just came back from your Flickr site. You've been busy, mate. If anyone wants to see several angles of this piece head for HowAbout No's place: www.flickr.com/photos/howaboutno

Banksy Street Art • Tesco Generation, by Gurn on Mar 3, 2008 21:10:16 GMT 1, This is a cracking piece and I'm sitting on the fence over who did it.I've thought that a couple of the recent Banksy's were collabs,it's a nice thought..I know that it's havin a pop at corporations and capitalism,but,I just can't help thinking that there will be a few Tesco ad men/execs with smug grins on their faces when they see this.

Tescos don't need any PR while they have boxes of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and free and ample parking spaces. Thats enough for me. My local shop is shit and there's a double yellow line outside. generation Tesco for me ;D

Surely though,you can only really appreciate an image like this if you know who's point of view it is coming from?

i agree, but be it banksy, mantis, or any1 else, its a fantastic image that sums up living in britain perfectly
for the record, i think its banksy, and mantis usually leaves a tag near his work

Banksy Street Art • Tesco Generation, by saltandiron on Mar 3, 2008 22:44:27 GMT 1, If we all agree that it's not a banksy, and then spread this opinion at every opportunity there's less chance of it being hacked off the wall and sold on ebay.
So I'd say it's definitely a Mantis.

Thanks :)
But the most important thing for me was that - manksy or bantis - this piece made me *think* yesterday. I stopped myself walking into the oh-so-convenient Tesco on my way home from work and bought my dinner from my local fruit and veg shop.
People need to be reminded about the macro, bigger picture and their role within it. Every little helps!
Successful political art :)

F**king great powers of observation! I think it's totally inspired by that image.

Banksy Street Art • Tesco Generation, by HowAboutNo on Mar 4, 2008 12:04:17 GMT 1, Its the old style of Tesco bag he has painted, not the new one.
And sorry, but whilst I know he has ripped off images many times before, I just think they are simply pledging allegiance to the flag as people did long before the Mc D's parody image existed.
If it was his usual style of copying then it would have been a direct rip off (as per IFTL)
