framheim Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 nice to see he's not letting the fact that every marketing man in the world has co-opted his style stop him from doing his thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 the thing i don't get about those pictures is that either he's a frickin genius with a spray can or he's pasted photo's on those images(on the actual wall) or it's all an elaborate hoax and they've been photoshopped. all the news reports are exactly the same and appear to have come from a central press release so wouldn't be too hard to tag on the photoshopped pictures with it.just a thought, cause getting the press to report it would acheive much the same result as actually doing it. awareness of the issue and banksy gets more notorious.

Chris Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I think he's just a genius with a spray can. I imagine extensive planning helps and the fact that he's using stencils. So he can prepare everything well in advance and make sure he knows it's going to turn out ok before he makes the trip.Fucking ace though.

Teabags Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 yeah, he'll have a studio where he'll have practiced the stencils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 yea i get that he's good with stencils but you can't stencil the detail inside, the desert island and the mountain vista etc. that's what i was talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 yea that was what made me think it might be photoshopped or pasted. just saw footage of him doing it on channel 4 news, it was preprinted and pasted. the ballsy bastard did it in broad daylight as well. fair play.

Alkaline Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 It still looks fucking awesome and the guy does indeed have balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowball Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 The guy is incredibly talented but until he stops doing his thing on property that isn't his I'll always think that he's an arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessHolly Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Banksy is one of my favourite artists. I've got a couple of his books and have read a bunch of interviews with him. I really liked what he did with the work in the art galleries earlier this year. I've seen quite a few of his pieces around London but what interests me more is his girlfriend's work. She goes round all these places in Kent, Essex and Berkshire and stencils awesome sayings onto walls, bridges, tunnels and underpasses. I've got a great photo of my boyfriend standing next to "What a beautiful smile." But my favourite is still "I love your shoes!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
