# Banksy usually puts his name nearby.
Another copycat, I would suspect.

# because he didn't copy anyone, ever
there's at least two in bristol that he lays claim two without his name nearby

# 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.

# 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

# rainman can tag?
i thought he was a mong in a wheelchair who remembers stuff

# psst
no wheelchair, or mongness
infact that's just a totally inaccurate statement sir, *shakes head*

definitely. definitely inaccurate.

# 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.

# I have something called labyrinthitis.
This means I keep collapsing, but it should pass in a week or two.

My friend had a heart attack tonight, which worries me as we always over indulged as a team.

# i saw one in bristol the other day i wondered if it was his
just up park street on the right

# I think he's done a few on park street
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..

Nearly ended up in there one night 'cos no where else was open. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

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

# 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!!!"

it'll really be him!
i'm lazy, and haven't worn my bandana whilst cycling since my last placement (avoided rush hour traffic) but it's still a possibility
