Is this the work of Banksy?

I'm working in Amsterdam this week and noticed this, I swear it wasn't there the last time I looked.

Edit:
Answered, now so I shall remove the enormous picture...

edit : we need more remote control animals

dunno if that was him

although i laughed when i heard it. the building in question's right by the mild mild west piece so i doubt it was him

thanks

i'm waiting for the second hard copy (no extra stuff, but no £40 price tag)

Banksy usually puts his name nearby.

Another copycat, I would suspect.

(

SugarSpunSister Yeah, whatever, Wed 10 Oct 2007, 19:17, archived)

because he didn't copy anyone, ever

there's at least two in bristol that he lays claim two without his name nearby

(cs192 is sucking on a Koala at, Wed 10 Oct 2007, 19:22, archived)

This

I do like a lot of his work, but he's just a vandal with a spray-can and his 'work' is not that unusual. A lot of paste-ups of a similar nature existed before.

If he wants to be considered legitimate then I say stop fucking people's stuff up, you cunt.

Because of Banksy we see a fuck load of teenagers who otherwise wouldn't do it spraying shit because they think it is legitimate art.

(

LordManley twitter.com/LordManley, Wed 10 Oct 2007, 19:27, archived)

there's fuck loads of graffiti with or without banksy

and as someone who works in shoreditch (where there is a lot of his stuff), I quite like seeing it.

it's certainly better than the endless crap tagging of people like rainman

As I say, I like his work

it amuses me a lot.

That said, I hate the legitimising of it.

If it's on your house it is up to you, but councils should fucking wash it off with the rest of the crap.

'His is okay because it is good' is no argument. 'God' is subjective and every artist thinks that their work is good.

Never really looked into it, I don't get into Bristol as much as I should, even though it's only about half an hour away..

I know the one of the guy hanging out the window is his, but I don't recall if it's on park street or not..

But there's one opposite the BRI apparently... A police sniper and a kid with a paper bag behind him.

(Hey Jonny, Park! Fluffeh Pleece, Wed 10 Oct 2007, 19:36, archived)

the bloke hanging out of the window?

that's the one bristol city council (CUNTS) held a poll to ask whether they should paint over it or not.

in reply to manley (he really is) and rob, i'd never heard of him before i moved to bristol, (despite the rat in liverpool) and two of my mates looked at me like i was a leper. some of his stuff is pretty cool (like the gorilla I saw today) and yes he is a vandal, but it's definately better than just someone's "stylised" tag, even if he is lauded beyond belief.

i'm personally not sure it's one person, and am thinking of screen printing my bandana with "I'm Banksy" (using his tag) for when i'm on my bike

(cs192 is sucking on a Koala at, Wed 10 Oct 2007, 19:37, archived)

I think if you claim to be Banksy in Bristol

You will either be praised or lynched.

Either way, at least I'll point at you and scream "LOL! CS192!!!"

I thought Hulk was a massive pole of poop.

A waste of my money and time. The graphics were just pasable for a computer game and definatly not up to the $bazillions that it cost for the really bad textures and modeling. Not to mention the shitty script, the poor acting, how much I now hate Stan Lee for bastardising the franchise of not only the Hulk but the whole Marvel name.
