Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by pezlow on Aug 24, 2009 20:37:41 GMT 1,
Surprised at this and a number of other comments by people saying this isn't banksy. It has all the hallmarks of banksy. I'm pretty certain it is banksy

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by pezlow on Aug 24, 2009 20:40:55 GMT 1, But why - it is a piece we know he has done in the past? The placement has banksy written all over it. The writing and the message is spot on. I can't think of a single legitimate argument that this isn't banksy.

Here is my argument on the backside of this is text much like what banksy would do but look at the window looks like it was splattered with paint. Also "Live Fast Drive Slow" doesn't seem very Banksy. here is mammals picture enhanced a bit . The piece looks pretty spot on but the rest is suspicious IMO

Disagree.
Exactly the sort of play on words he is likely to use.

agree pez, seems like the sort of message that Banksy would use next to a busy road.

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it"

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by Coach on Aug 24, 2009 21:13:53 GMT 1, Could easily believe it is a Banksy (quality looks so good to me), but wouldn't be suprised to find out it's not either. The resemblance to the pow open day image is stricking. Whoever has done it, iy looks superb to me. The shadow around the horses legs looks great. Would be interested to know if there is a train line goes right past it - like the idea of a piece being plonked in a perfect place for train travellers to enjoy! Love it! c Coach there IS a train line that goes right along side this I WAS ON IT TODAY on my way back from BRISTOL via Reading and was blown away. I had no idea about this and was shocked when I saw it couldn't get my phone or camera out fast enough to take a shot of it. Its' a perfect view from the train and I saw the back with Live Fast Drive Slow too as well as the 2nd tower with pink paint thrown up.
Cool! ;D

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by robertlondon on Aug 24, 2009 21:39:43 GMT 1, I'm sure he had "Life is not a Race" on the bridge in Shoreditch a number of years ago???
Similar message methinks?

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by alsbabar on Aug 24, 2009 21:39:54 GMT 1, the "live fast, drive slow" statement is a perfect placement, as most accidents on the A40 (heading west) occur on that part and side of the carriageway (two deaths in two days in the exact same spot in April 09). Also had his The Dunce statue below that flyover (paddington exit).

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by Deleted on Aug 24, 2009 22:52:32 GMT 1, reading all the post in here my doubt even gets bigger.. the typo that is used looks very banksy to me. The meaning of the writing looks banksy for me too.
The post on here with all the interesting points that are thought about is very true IMO.. Location (not familiar with the place but what it looks like a good place for a piece like this), composition.. looks like Banksy smartness!
but the image.. Can anyone that knows a lot more about Banksy show me some pieces that are in the same style? Well, maybe not the same style but at least something that can remind me of this. For me it looks like his twin brother did a course in Graffiti and banksy told him how to hold the pencils etc, with this as a result.
btw: The pictures from Mammal give a total different feeling to the piece for me, less sketchy and more of a bright style. The reflection of the sun in the piece gives it a little boost.
