I just checked out the now famous British street artist Banksy and I’m amazed. Normally I have a hard time – quite unfashionable i must admit – really digging the beauty of street art and most forms of graffiti. But Banksy’s work is simply brilliant. Fun, subversive, intriguing. If you don’t know Banksy, go check out the site right away.
One of Banksy’s funny makeovers of flea market classics. A tribute to BigMother’s romantic leanings.

[...] Since Banksy is so interesting, funny and darn good, because he’s often commenting on surveillance in a quite funny way, AND giving away his pictures for free at the site, there’s simply no reason why I shouldn’t let him decor BigMother. So I will (for a while least). [...]

i find it amusing how banksy’s works are anti-capitalist and anti-establishment but are the height of cool and conformity. surely if everyone who appreciated his works actually took interest in how the world works it would be in the dire state it is today

banksy is not a person but a organisation. this is a brainchild of some stupid attention seeker and greedy bastard, greedy because although they are just giving some funny and quite simple pictures on the wall for free,same time they r cashin on aswell and think of the future, how much they gonna get once they will come publicly. this is not a art but vandalism, y on earth people are so kind towards him but not to other kids who got fine and jail sentence instead, the world;s mad, but yeah atleast we can fight the case successfully (if we got caught vandalisng) by giving banksy example. my solictor agreed tooo… so if banksy can do it we can too,, by the way , u stupid people,who i just think as victim of aggressive marketing technique, wake up and show love to those street artist on the street on broad day light(unlike so called banksy), who do it for living. i dontknow if u notice some artists, just drawing massive , beautiful pictures of “the last super” , trafagal square,london eye, etc,, they deserve the credit not this banksy
