[Gusto Brunt]

Must be desperate to be recognised now.

Twas a tad careless to sign the art with his surname then give up his Christian name ..

Love him.

In the 2003 recording, BBC reporter Nigel Wrench asks him if he is called "Robert Banks", and the artist replies: "It's Robbie."

This has long been the subject of speculation online, with variations of Robin, Robert and Robbie suggested.

"Robin Banks" :suspect:

A Chelsea Rich Home now has a Banksy

Old Home back in the early days of 1696
Window Tax, made many homes Brick Up.

[Imposed in England in 1696, the tax—a kind of
predecessor of the modern property tax—was levied on
dwellings with the tax liability based
on the number of windows.
The tax led to efforts to reduce tax bills
through such measures as the boarding up
of windows and the construction of houses
with very few windows.]


Banksy also did a Goat up on a ledge

And 3 Monkeys

Presumably the price/ value of his pieces will drop alarmingly now his ‘mask’ has been lifted ??

Presumably he can now be prosecuted by councils and property owners for defacing/ damaging property ?

It may take a short while for the fat to hit the fan so to speak .

His big selling point was his anonymity which is now not the case

Before it was removed

[arista]

[A new Banksy artwork has been taken down by
hired contractors just hours after it appeared
on a billboard in London - to the boos of locals.

The black silhouette of a large cat stretching
appeared on abandoned signage in Cricklewood,
North London overnight - with the artist
confirming he was behind it with an
Instagram post, as is his normal style.

But hours later, men who said they were
'hired' from a 'contracting company' turned up
in Cricklewood to take the hoarding down
for safety reasons.]

Before the contractors arrived
a man tried to steal it.
