# From my experience,
he's actually rather pleasant :)

# Well I think it's great that the public are behind him, but it's just
pathetic that local councils are backing him aswell. So it's fine for him to draw on walls but for everyone else it's still illegal. Equality is funny business.

# Suppose it depends what you draw on the wall
Someone once wrote "PISSFLAPS" on the wall opposite my old house and my poor old mum was mortified.

# Is that Tesco bag stencil an actual image Banksy's made,
or did Happy Toast mock it up?

I really don't like Banksy's work. As in REALLY don't like it.

# Some of his stuff Im not keen on,
but I got given a couple of his books and some of the stuff is cracking!

# why are you so against it?
Is it cool to not like him now?

# What? I don't form opinions based on whether or not they're cool, hex.
I just really don't like his work. I'm heavily involved in the lowbrow art scene, and there are loads of street artists whose work I love - I just find his very obvious, quite unattractive and a bit ham-fisted.
(I helped save b3ta! grey kid is breakdancing to save a community centre, Fri 7 Mar 2008, 11:46, archived)
# sorry, I didn't mean to target you personally when I said that
and yeah, I sort of agree, but when given an exhibition room, he's a really very talented installation artist, and I admire him for that.
(I helped save b3ta! hexachordal la la la la la, Fri 7 Mar 2008, 11:48, archived)
# Heh, s'fine. :)
And yes, you're right about his installation skills. Quite ironic, really. :D

But yeah, while I do like some of his ideas, I've always found his political angle quite clumsy and unneccesary. He's really not as much of a firebrand as he seems to think.

# Uh?
So you dislike stuff that's very obvious, quite unattractive and a bit ham-fisted?
You must fucking hate it round here!

simply don't find him very interesting and never have.

# looks that way doesn't it..

lets slate someone who makes the streets that little bit less dull..I think it's because he makes money from them now
(I helped save b3ta! prodigy69 broke b3ta and made everyone leave, Fri 7 Mar 2008, 11:46, archived)
# No, no.
I like lots of street art. Just not his.

Other painters make gallerys less dull, but I don't have to like all of those.

And, for the record, I've always said precisely the same about Banksy. I didn't like his work before it was famous, and I don't like it now.

# true..you don't have to like it

it seems to be that ever since he has became 'infamous' and made a bit of cash...it's cool to say you don't like him, that's all I'm trying to say :)
(I helped save b3ta! prodigy69 broke b3ta and made everyone leave, Fri 7 Mar 2008, 11:49, archived)
# I suppose so - I don't really know, I haven't spoken to anyone else about him really. :)
But I can imagine what you're saying is very true. People usually like to have a couple of thousand backers before they go public with an opinino, don't they? :)

I'd kick him in the knackers.


that was a close run thing - the 'l' key being next to the 'k' when writing 'kick' - only just noticed before hitting 'post'...

# Not being picky,
but that is Shoreditch ;) I was up there last night and I love catching a glimpse of some Banksy work when Im lucky :)

Capn, I apologise, I misled you before. It was on the steps of Tate Modern actually, but it was just a little stencil on the face of the step saying "Mind the Crap."
