Banksy "Anonymous for 15 Minutes", by dog byte on Aug 7, 2007 3:47:23 GMT 1, 
Heard Dennis Hopper on the radio (with Steve Jones) saying that this piece from the Barely Legal show was giving to him as a gift from Banksy...

Banksy "Anonymous for 15 Minutes", by jam on Aug 7, 2007 7:00:56 GMT 1, Dennis is well known to collect art and has for years. I know a gallery owner in CA that has sold him quite a few pieces by Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf, so he clearly likes street art.
He told a great story once in an interview about a Lichtenstein original canvas he bought for around 1k in the '60's, lost it in a divorce to his ex wife who sold it for a nominal profit... then it went on to sell to a collector for something like 5-6k in 1969. He laughs now about how it sold for over 15 Million in an auction this spring. Hopefully he keeps hold of the Banksy!

Having him own one of your pieces as an artist would be a pretty big deal.
