Banksy

But @blink, look at the boy and the anvil. The perspective, colour, shading, dimension. He's actually standing in front of the wall - not just painted on it. No 'ordinary' graffitist can achieve such reality, and I say this in condemnation of desecrating public property, but here the issue is the merit of the art itself.

As @exuptoy says: 'Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.' Just weighing in with mine.

 

Just on the news it's been sold to a private buyer for six figure sum

 

Guess someone's going to have a brand new garage soon and maybe even a new house!!

 

It’s not an anvil Nige it’s a sled and the kid thinks it’s snow but it’s ash from the bin!

 

Bull crap! Art is in the eye of the beholder. If I see an anvil, well, that's what it is.

On the other hand, not sure how well it would handle on the ski slopes.

 

Yer Nigel but not entitled to paint someone else’s wall

 

Hey, don't jump on me over your half-reading of my post!

Now I'm going to be all stressed out while heating my Baked Beans for dinner.

 

I think us No's have won this

 

Well and truly. And it actually surprised me, only because the older members of the forum would have - in my mind - been more traditionalists and viewed the works as damage. Not re-igniting the debate, merely saying.

 

Funny that nigel us youngsters think it graffiti

 

We need another subject & poll being as WEVE won this one

Cmon Bazza...get thinking

How about...Should Wimmin be allowed to Drive?

 

im not saying its bad, just that it gets far more hype than its worth. its all stencils by the way, thats how it gets done so fast. some of the work i photograph takes weeks to complete

 

Not judging by the way they push damn shopping trolleys around Tesco!

 

So are you suggesting that Banksy's been sighted with massive sheets of cardboard up against walls and set to painting as if performing a 'paint by numbers' pictorial like we did as kids?

 

yeah, thats exactly how he does it

 

Hey look at this earlier work of his!!
It's almost as if he anticipated your fuddy duddy comment's

 

Just put random strange items in their trolly when they're not looking....juvenile but very satisfying

 

i went to tesco at 6pm the other day

im still in therapy

 

Tesco Extra at Chezvegas

It's like Dawn of the Dead starring Wayne & Waynette
