Lol sneaking around in a canoe in the middle of the night risking serious jail time is nuts.

It just showed the french guy on this documentary and he was the person to come up with the idea of using stencils instead of free drawing and banksy acknowledges him as an influence and admires him he doesnt copy his work as it were but he admits he is influenced by him.

The doc I'm watching now says he allegedly stole his style. I'm not convinced he has

That stencil guy keeps missing out the "W"

I could be as good as Robbo if I snorted a load of paint and sneezed on some canvas

:joker: I dont like him the he is all bitter about banksy getting all the attention.
The W guy is odd he was moaning about stencils and he uses them every time.

Yeah, I found that weird too! Sat there making stencils as he spoke about it being cheating! :conf:

The Robbo guy is really bitter

He is so boring, but i hated my Art teacher soo much

:joker::joker::joker:

OMG :shocked:

Well that put a downer on it im just trying to find out how he is now and what happened.

Yeah I was kinda gobsmacked. I'm guessing a Banksy fan :( Oh, so stupid all this...

This is the only thing i can find.

This statement has been released by 'The King Robbo Trust'

As rumour, speculation and public comments regarding King Robbo circulate throughout the Art World and Graffiti grapevine, we would like to set the record straight by offering the following statement ;

On April 2nd 2011 King Robbo sustained a serious life threatening head injury just 5 days prior to his current exhibition, 'Team Robbo - The Sell Out Tour' at the Signal Gallery, Shoreditch, London.

As a result he has not been available for comment or interviews.
He was also unable to show all of his intended new works at the current exhibition.

He is now out of the intensive care unit and making small but steady progress.

This has been an extremely difficult time for his family and close friends and we would like their privacy to be respected in light of the current situation.

Cheers Bobnot. It's certainly intriguing

Hang on, when did this happen? I've just seen an article published in April this year about Robbo being back

If it was this article:
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-en...y-2270575.html
It happened 3 weeks before that and they dont even mention it in the article. Someone in the comments section is wondering why.

A statement on here:

Makes it sound like he was still in a coma on may 7th so he must have been pretty messed up.

Banksy is a prick

Yes, that's what I saw. Strange. Very strange

Why? The documentory I watched I now believe they are both as bad as each other (Banksy and Robbo) but why do you mean?

Theres something weird about all that Robbo stuff...

Im watching the Graffiti Wars thing on +1 and from what ive seen he's jipped aload of ideas off that french fella and pissed all over that Robbo fellas stuff

That was in retaliation to Robbo name dropping in his book saying he had slapped Banksy when he hadnt Banksy shouldnt have done that but Robbo was desperate to jump on Banksys coat tails and see if he could further himself using Banksy as a springboard.
And none of it gave Robbo licence to start defacing all of banksys work.

Day 15 of Banksy's month long residency in New York (Better Out Than In) sees an homage to The Twin Towers.

Does the flower symbolise both the explosion from the plane and a mark of respect for those that lost their lives?

"go back to your own country, dirty immigrant!"

that's the title i'd give to that artwork.

to me, he's comparing London to New York. in london he feels like he's an immigrant surrounded by police, in new york he feels out of place, because everyone is an immigrant. he looses his identity because everyone is a minority in America. he's not as special in New York.
