Studying Banksy - Help anyone??, by shadygirl on Aug 29, 2006 15:43:42 GMT 1, Hey, this year at school i'm doing my advanced higher Art expressive unit looking at graffiti, and Banksy's work in detail. I was just wondering if any of you guys would know any good sites/books etc with good pictures of his work, and some info/biography on him? that might help me out a bit.
It's just i don't really know a lot about him, but i saw a few examples of his work, and thought he would be great to incorporate into my unit.
hope someone can help me! thanks ;D

Studying Banksy - Help anyone??, by shadygirl on Aug 30, 2006 19:40:04 GMT 1, Lol thats not a bad idea haha well i think it might be a few months before i like really get into writing the dissertation. But apparently i've to compare him with another graffiti artist, so i'll need to find someone else for that lol. But right now i've basically been asked just to begin collating info, and i thought here might be the best place
I'll defo know to come to u guys though if i get stuck with anything in particular Thanks!

3 words for you to Google as a start point then Shady....Blek Le Rat. (if not done already of course!)
Would be an interesting read I think. How much for a copy signed by the author?

those two books (plus the sadly out of print 'existencilism') make up the bulk of his coffee table book, 'Wall & Piece'. W&P does have a few extras, and obviously morte colour, bigger pics etc, but equally there are a few things in the 3 books that are not in the book....

Studying Banksy - Help anyone??, by dapperdan on Oct 2, 2006 23:55:19 GMT 1, i'm doing banksy for my 2nd year architecture project... we have to research his work first, then design a building for him to live and do his work... well i have to... i dont know what other artists people are doing...
anyway, to cut a long story short... why does he paint rats and monkies... is there any type of symbolism there, or are they just easy to stencil?

Buy some Banksy books, full of quotes about them. (just go direct to POW for ones in stock NOT Ebay!!! where u pay ยฃ35 for a ยฃ5 book!! But I will dare to quote him (loosely) "The rats are us, the little people, getting trodden on etc etc etc"
Told you it was loosely...go buy the book!

Studying Banksy - Help anyone??, by shadygirl on Jan 5, 2007 14:52:38 GMT 1, Hey, just thought i'd give u all a wee update on how the studies are going. Quite a bit through the work, decided to choose Banksy and steven sprouse to compare, seeing as my theme is all about military and anti-establishment. In the middle of completing my sketchbooks for art school and this site has been a godsend for all of his prints etc to include.
However i'm looking for more of his sketches/drawings, cause i'm basing my images on his technique of being quite sketchy with his drawings. Would any of you kind people possibly be able to help me out by any chance? Thanks!!!

As far as i know he only stencils. I've never seen any of his drawings. Pretty sure all the design work is done on the computer these days.
