Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by Grafter on Nov 10, 2009 20:51:55 GMT 1, It's a really nice piece but I would guess it's not.
The lines are too solid and there is no attempt at any shading which is something Banksy definatley likes to add.
It's also a lot smaller than the scale of his recent street work.
If you look at no ball games you'll see that the White portion was applied after the black and was a watered down Whitewash done with a brush. The White ok this is definatley out of a can and is a lot brighter and in your face.
The boy is very good. The car is a bit weak and could have been better.
Also don't think anyones trying to be mistaken for Banksy, I just think someone had a good idea, got up off their ar5e and got up.
There used to be a time on here when that was celebrated and encouraged. Not damned instantly as an attempt to ride someone elses fame.....
Mind you, we do all know of one person who has had a good go, don't we?

Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by fuzzed on Nov 10, 2009 20:52:35 GMT 1, I quite like it but don't think this is Banksy. Just doesn't really feel right to me. Nice piece though!

No feet, just shoes. And you can just see a part of them, so I think it is a Banksy ;D

Banksy? - Toy Car Clamped, by LEVI C on Nov 14, 2009 16:16:29 GMT 1, found nothing mind blowing. I'd say this is the best of what I found.
Not bad, but since the IPOD adverts I've seen so many spins on it.
Here's another ;D
Still, a great wheel clamp piece though.
(edit - looked some more and actually there's some good stuff. Like the road signs and his freehand stuff is strong too. Good work Mantis.)
