Banksy - Awsome graffiti

[liquidboi69]

This mystery man graffiti's in the UK mainly. Police are currently trying to catch him, but to no avail. He has the most amazing art that I've seen...amazing what you can do with some stencling and a spray can. Note that most of his works were done under 10 mins as to not get caught by police. Most of his works are politicly motivated.

CKY your avatar is made by him? Or did he just copy some other picture and graffiti it?

He even managed to spray on the wall in the West Bank, Palistine where the heated conflict between Isreal/Palistnans are. I read he had alot of guards pointing guns at him while he was doing it, and even had warning shots fired in the air. He just contined graffiting :O

Yea I was thinking that too. But it's just good photography. If you look on the Flkr photos, the pictures are the same...and from different angles (alot of duplicates on Flkr.) That Flkr acount just has publicly uploaded photos by people not affiliated with Banksy.

The really nice ones I put on here are taken by Banksy's crew with good cameras and setups.

So amazing it looks Photoshoped :D. Also you'll be able to find tonnes of news reports on the internet featuring those photos so I'm pretty sure they're real.

Most people I showed this to said the West Bank pictures looked fake. But here's a news/art site with their own independant photographs:

Edit* It's a shame that all his graffiti will be scrubbed off. The West Bank one has already been scrubbed off =( those were so nice...photorealistic.

Thanks for the info dude, could of sworn they were :eek:

[adam c]

[Xtrema]

Now that's graffitti I can get behind. Instead of just random chicken scratches.

[ringer]

wow. that's really impressive

[snade831]

I love the rat holding a camera one. amazing art. It's a shame they are getting rid of them all. :thumbsdow

[3g4me]

Thats cool shit.

[toyboy88]

WOW! nice stuff...the one with the rat cutting the sidewalk looks sweet!

[joyridder]

very impressive! can't believe that he actually was able to do that in the west bank!

[big_k]

WOW, that is very impressive, I wish I had skillz like that

Yeah my avatar is just a sized down version of that picture. Banksy been around forever, I found out about his work at around 00'. People admire his work so much because of his creativity and ability to poke fun societal problems in a satirical way.

P.S.: His work is real and none of it is photoshopped. He uses some photo editing program to break down a picture in layers that enables him to stencil individual pieces. It's not ALL free hand.

[crazydriver]

wow that guy has some amazing talent :thumbsup:

[adidas]

Awesome stuff.

Good find! :thumbsup:

Thios was in the paper not too long ago.
The first picture was done in the UK, and they're going to vote to keep it up or take it down.
I hope they keep it up.:thumbsup:

The pic with the baby and the letter blocks...the second word is jumbled, yet you can tell exactly what it's spelling within a fraction of a second of looking at it.
The guy has talent :thumbsup:
