Flags - Self Portrait, by jhayes94108 on Jul 28, 2007 3:59:01 GMT 1, I have a theory that in the Flags print there is a self portrait of Banksy. It may sound ridiculous, but take a look if you have one. One face does not seem to fit with the other faces. It reminds me of Raphael's "School of Athens" painting where he paints a self portrait of himself hidden in the crowd. If you don't know the painting, here it is:

Totally speculative, but that is my opinion!

Flags - Self Portrait, by johnas on Jul 28, 2007 8:32:59 GMT 1, interesting theory indeed!
you can only see 3 faces on the Flag print and the 'kid' climbing on the boot of the car does look out of place compared to the 2 on the car's roof.... I don't own a Flag print so can't see it up close but thinks it's an interesting theory nonetheless!
