Post your favourite Banksy shit. Just saw this, he has made me chuckle a few times, also has some pretty great documentaries about street art/counter art culture

bansky is so cool. he had 2 in boston but then the fuckin city decided that they werent important and painted over them. really depressing to go to the spot it used to be in and see a faint highlight of the design

I love Banksy, probably one of my favorite artists. Who's the member with the smoking Charlie Brown as his icon?

This one was about 20 miles away from my house (its gone now, but it was huge)

And I saw this one in Chicago during Lollapalooza

"People say he copies me, but I don’t think so. I’m the old man, he’s the new kid, and if I’m an inspiration to an artist that good, I love it. I feel what he is doing in London is similar to the rock movement in the Sixties."

anything by shepard fairey would look 100x better on skis. not saying banksy has bad designs, but the stuff fairey does is so much better from a design standpoint

Omg he paints on stuff and my mom won't let me paint on stuff he's so rad!


But seriously has some good stuff. I just think some of the street art is pointless. Some people that just scribble on shit just to vandalize. IMO that shit is childish. But I def appreciate the legitimate art even on such an illegitimate canvas.

Depends on if you are being paid/ have permission to do it.

Also not much of a fan of Banksy, his work can be somewhat enjoyable but it just feels the same old same old a lot of the time.
