Wanksy, by mfceio on May 4, 2008 12:36:29 GMT 1, Just came accross this piece of "Wanksy"
Interested to know what you reckon to it. My initial thought was it was about Banksy selling out, but then it got me thinking about the walls being ripped down with his stuff on and sold.

Wanksy, by GD303uk on May 4, 2008 14:04:52 GMT 1, it looks like another graff artist has an axe to grind , and has made something they hope illustrates what they think of Banksy, ie they think he is a sell out, i have met as few peeps lately thsat think banksy is a sell out because his pieces sell for lots of cash at auctions, if banksy was selling them himself through the auction houses it might be the case but he is doing them for free and bread heads out there are cashing in, ripping them off walls and selling them, banksy a sell out? not today,, just another jealous hater. thats how ive interpreted the piece

Wanksy, by mrmustard on May 4, 2008 14:46:10 GMT 1, Years ago, I'm talking 6 or 7, before Banksy got famous there was an 'artist' called Wanksy that used to spray stencils (purposely badly I think) to take the piss. At the time Banksy was bombing the area I lived in Bristol massively and I think Wanksy was just some pissed up student having a laugh. I wonder if the stuff above is by the same person?

Wanksy, by aj on May 4, 2008 18:03:45 GMT 1, Well, I've just come back from the cans festively!
Free entry, free parking, free to roam around and take pics, there was even a sand pit and slide for the kids! that was free too.
So no cashing in there then. Oh hang on, ยฃ3 for a program.
Bloody crooks.

Agreed, plus he's flown in artists from all round the world and paid for their expenses/hotels etc etc. And didn't he do the same in Bethlehem and sell tons of originals making a bunch of money that stayed in the land - all for good causes?
Yes Banksy has no doubt made a ton of money but at least he seems to be a man who will use his money well and put alot back.
