I think the light hearted funny stuff is the best. Some of the political stuff doesn't really do it for me.

100% agree
Used to love that even before I had even heard of Banksy. Used to see it on my drive on the M4 into London almost daily at the time.
Wish it had been made into a print that one.....

Just my opinion though

Which single image though CBL? Come on, no getting out of this one. ;D ... and if you're going to choose the one i think your going to choose, is it still the best considering aerofish had done it first?

I'm getting out of the single image choice whether you like it or not ;D
Love the girl holding onto the balloons about to fly over the wall, but also the living room too, oh, and the others ;D

CBL - here here! Though I'll go one step further and opt for this:
Aside from the elements of subject/location CBL mentioned, I think this piece displays Banksy's hallmark style to perfection. I also like the fact that this gives a little nod to pop art history - it's very evocative of Patrick Caulfield for me.
Though, in print form it has to be CWSB all the way!

Yeah would you believe it I've never read any of Banksy books yet, apart from a quick scan in the book shop. Must seriously do some studying on that front ! Anyone got a second hand one for sale?

Which is the greatest Banksy image and why?, by dave313perry on Jul 7, 2007 10:28:49 GMT 1, Guys, Has to be this one for me;
Did you know the Banksy Tag is Just a type face tweaked slightly - nothing original in that!!!! 
For me, I dont know if its because im young and havnt found a particular style or specific type of imagery that does it for me, other than street art/and similar - My favourite Banksy Image fluctuates...does anyone else have the same problem???
I cant put my finger on a single favourite, when i flick through 'wall and piece' the pics that catch my eye change from, CWSB to the 'arch angel' and to the copper sniffing the line and back again!!!! Depends on my mood.
So if i give contradictory opinions then its because i have contradictory tastes!!!!! The Rat series is even growing on me!!!
