"Has Banksy come to Tooting? Exclusive By Eleanor Harding
The mural on Stella Road Guerrilla artist Banksy may have chosen Tooting for his latest prank as residents discovered this Laurel and Hardy mural last Friday.
It features a stencil of Oliver Hardy from the old comedy films menacingly holding a machine gun alongside the movie catch phrase "Another fine mess!"
Local DJ Lynda Bennett, 41, who lives in Otterburn Street, discovered it at 9am on the side of the doctor's surgery in Stella Road.
She said: "People were nonchalantly walking past it. When I saw it I immediately thought it was a Banksy because of the way he shades the faces. It's quite exciting."
Only two days before, local resident Mark Shaw, who fronts 80s band Then Jerico, saw two men in guerrilla outfits holding a placard reading "Gordon Banks, original guerrilla", which he now thinks was a coded announcement of the piece.
Lazarides Gallery in Soho, which looks after Banksy's work, has denied all knowledge of it, but a local expert said the figure bears all the artist's hallmarks.
John Bloxham, who owns a gallery in St John's Hill, said: "It's political and it's got the Banksy statement. It could be about the Iraq war. It would be fantastic if we did have a Banksy in Wandsworth."
โPeople were nonchalantly walking past it. When I saw it I immediately thought it was a Banksy" Lynda Bennett, local DJ "However, the writing is leaving me a little bit cold. It is flourishy, but if you look at Banksy's other stuff it is either stencilled or it's simple, like a child's."
The mural on Stella Road If genuine, it will be the first time the international artist has visited the area, and could fetch more than ยฃ100,000 at auction.
This week a newspaper claimed the anonymous artist was really Robin Gunningham, 34, a former public schoolboy from Bristol, although this has not been confirmed.
Banksy works has painted walls in London, Los Angeles and even the Israeli West Bank under the cover of night and famous patrons include Brad Pitt and Christina Aguilera.
He recently showed work at the Cans Festival, a graffiti art exhibition stretching along the disused tunnel in Leake Street, Waterloo."
Touching ;D ;D ;D

Banksy Hits Tooting!, by raiden on Jul 15, 2008 5:54:40 GMT 1, Where do these reporters find these so called art experts who give these crap answers? There is nothing here that says definitely Banksy - and far more to say its not Banksy! The sloppy spray marks outside the stencil suggest someone substantially less experienced and emboldened. The lack of a trademark "Banksy" tag and the existence of another tag is a pretty damn good clue.
I don't get journalism these days at all. It takes two seconds of research to find Banksy authorities (i.e. most the people on this board) to identify any piece as a likely Banksy.
