He is an amazing artist. I'm tiring now of all this anonymity thing though. OK most of the stuff he does would get him locked up but anyone with half a brain could find him in seconds in reality

I like street art, sometimes it helps to make the wall more enjoyable to walk past, but I don't like graffiti like the stuff I see on the way to work 'this is just to distract you - well it worked you *****!'

I want to know where he has stashed the rest of the Ł1 million in Ł10 notes with princess diana on.
Ive seen exit through the gift shop a few times and on first viewing its such an odd sequence of events that i thought it had to be scripted but it really isnt.

The way banksy turns the theme of the documentary back on thierry guetta (mr brainwash) is genius in its self.

Im a big fan of banksy his work is amazing.

Its well worth a proper watch banksy told Mr brainwash to have a go at doing a bit of art and went on his way next he heard was that Mr Brainwash had re-mortgaged his family home and spent all his life savings over quarter of a million dollars on opening a massive art studio and a team of staff

Yes he made a million dollars in the first 8 days of his first exhibition and he is really good at what he does its just really weird how he ended up doing it. he got the best graffiti artists in the world to tell everyone in the artworld that he was a genius and they just accepted it and started paying big money for his work.

No, it doesn't exactly stick out.

Laughed at Banksy's work over his last remaining piece

I saw an article recently that showed that he just copied the work that a french street artist was doing. Made me lose a lot of respect for him. I did enjoy the documentary movie he made though "exit through the gift shop"

But now that i know he stole his style and ideas from another artist especially a FRENCH artist, i think he's a poseur.
