Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by lee3 on Aug 26, 2009 15:58:41 GMT 1, Look at the pics already posted Retard. They're all there.
i just spit out some coffee and scone (it's early in the morning over here) as i was taken back as that didn't seem like something Roman would say. Once i realized the username, the folks outside my office asked "what's so funny?"

That's what I'm asking.
Secretive forum members are an unusual source of news like this.
Why not post it themselves?
Just playing devil's advocate.. ;D

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by Fragile on Aug 26, 2009 16:16:20 GMT 1, Just having a clear out at work. We worked with Westbourne Studios many years ago. Their brochure/literature is really interesting....including the fact that they held the launch party for Blur's Think Tank album there.
I'm assuming that Banksy had his London studio here at some point?

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by cru5tee on Aug 26, 2009 16:27:03 GMT 1, I sent the original shot to Silky. A friend of mine took the shot who has a studio nearby.
I'm not Banksy, and neither is my friend. Sorry everyone. I had my doubts at first because the image was low res, asked silky if he knew about it but he didn't. Thought it would be more fun for Silky to post it. Anyway, having seen further pics from other forum members, I, like many others, am convinced it's by him.

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by doublehelix on Aug 27, 2009 5:18:37 GMT 1, Not sure if its been mentioned before, but I think it looks a bit like d**k Turpin
It has, by muti and myself, go back a page.
muti is right. It's not Zorro anymore, look at the hat and scarf, it's D ick Turpin, the highwayman, with perfect placement!  Romanywg's photo.

Either way, it's a point worth reiterating, the piece make a lot more sense as a highwayman.

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by robinbanks on Aug 27, 2009 9:47:11 GMT 1, Just out of interest - where did the name "RollerZorro" come from?
Is that what Banksy titled the original image? Is that what POW were calling the screens at the open day? Or did someone on here or another forum put 2 and 2 together and get 5?
Let's face it - it wouldn't be the first time people had been calling an image by the wrong title.
I just reckon that maybe the original image was meant to be a highwayman all the time - it makes sense after all (more so than Zorro IMO).
