Gotcha, Banksy!

So the mysterious graffiti talent's identity is finally revealed: BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Paper 'reveals Banksy's identity'

A search on Google image of his graffiti is worthy. Amazing stuff! Anti-war, social satire and pure fun... He'll be a legend in the art history, I bet.

I'm not surprised that the media have tried to uncover his identity, though I can understand why he'd want his identity revealed. His art certainly is eye-catching, though.

Indeed! And, a life-size replica of a Guantanamo Bay detainee at Disneyland; a yellow faced Monalisa in Louvre Museum? Fancy the guy never got caught!

Re: Gotcha, Banksy!

Wowowow, Banksy's new show - at you taxpayers expense, this time:

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Arts & Culture | Banksy in secret exhibition stunt

BBC - Bristol - In pictures: Banksy's Bristol show

I like this very much, it's very, er, realistic:

Re: Gotcha, Banksy!

I don't wanna know who he is. I'd be really sad if his identity was revealed. It's not relevant.




It may sound melodramatic, but in this day and age, we need people like Banksy.

If you're ever out drinking around in Bristol you're bound to see some Banksy art around. Livens the city up a bit ;-)
