anyone met banksy then ?, by dotdot on Aug 1, 2007 12:43:03 GMT 1, On a lighter note.
I had a guy round our flat trying to do a bit of decorating.
Turns out he was an art student before becoming a decorator.
Said he did it in Bristol. The conversation turned to Banksy
for some reason... might have been pictures on the walls..
he said he thought Bristol a great place to study and that
he'd met Banksy a couple of times.
I thought yeah right - didn't you pick up any canvases then !
- couldn't bring myself to ask 
Anyone met anyone who has met or thought they'd met this
elusive nocturnal worker (or any of his purported operatives i hear there's a few of them )..
am sure there's plenty of stories out there - waiting to be told

I know what youโre thinking, an estate agent telling the truth pah! He seemed genuine though.

What happens if he's (god forbid) incredibly ugly, but not in an interesting way.
What happens if he wears socks with Sandals?
He could be a complete Chav - like that knob who won the lottery.....he could be Banksy.
-Hmmmmm
If I knew, I might be so disgusted it would ruin the whole thing for me - I might sell my Banksy's at car boot sales.
Believe me, Ignorance is bliss.

I just want to know what i missed..... Anyone???

Exactly.
The Mystery is everything.
Ive seen a few images that claim to feature the man in question -
variously:-
1) the guy looks about 14
2) The guy looks like a tramp
3) the guy looks like a Islington dwelling, Guardian reading, Latte swilling* upper class dude
None of the above scenarios float my boat, I want my artists tortured, insanely intelligent, and beautiful (again, in a tortued, chiselled way - kind of like the Heroin addict future predictor artist in Heroes) anything else is just not cricket.
* Just like to point out, I like Upper St in Islington, but I dont live there....sadly.....I also like Lattes.
The Guardian - I fucking hate.

A lovely lifelike "you have to see it in the flesh" blue colourway Giclee on it's way to you my friend. Edition size is based on how many I can flog in the next 24 (hours, months, years), so if yer lucky you get an original.. errm copy. If not, you get what we in the trade call a poster. If I sell more than 20, then we'll do a few more colourways. (If I can find the cmyk button on the photocopier).

That's why all the London glitterati and media darlings keep moving up here. Even Johnny Depp bought a place down the road and couldn't bring himself to move actually IN to the beautiful city. Too much competition. So if you're in a London gallery and there's a chisel-jawed, six pack sporting love beast next to you, be careful - it could be BANKSY. Or Nick Walker, or GHOSTBOY, or Motorboy or one of the other Bristol bunch ;-)...
