The Onion do make me laugh, I don’t know how I’ve never seen this before. Cracks me up proper.
For the record, I’m male and I don’t have any grandchildren… yet.
Someone sent this to me - someone got a tattoo of some of my work!
Has anyone else out there got a Banksy tattoo? Send it in to me and I’ll do a series on them. Might even do a stencil, of someone with a tattoo, of a stencil. Mental.
Here’s the full set of animated gifs that http://madebyabvh.tumblr.com/ did of my work.
Really love all of these.
So apparently there’s this guy: http://madebyabvh.tumblr.com/ and he makes animated gifs of my work!
Now, I like my work, and I like animated gifs, so this really appeals to me. Wish I’d though of it myself to be honest. Nice work lad.
Well i'm sure you're not the real Banksy but on the off chance you are id like to say something. What happened man. I read somewhere you used to be a real graffer. Why'd you sell out and cash in on this stencil/street art bullshit. Fuck you. Team Robbo. Oh and stop biting off Blek, if you're gonna sell out at least get your own style. Twat.

Hello :) I'm a huge fan of your work! i was wondering something though. Last year i watched exit through the gift shop in an art class and we discussed it and i brought up this question. Was it purely a project of yours revealing the commercialization of art today or a true documentary of Thierry Guetta aka Mr. Brainwash?
I believe that truth is in the eye of the beholder - the works mean whatever you want them to mean. Unless you want them to mean something which I really don’t like, in which case I’ll have to take it back!
Any posibillities for you to come and meet mexico and maybe make a graffiti? :D
I’d love to. I know a couple of Mexicans who are very handy with a paintbrush - very hardworking guys and they do some lovely work in bathrooms. Maybe I’ll bring the wife out for a sunny getaway!
Want to watch some graffiti being painted live? This is a whole day’s painting in one minute!
Mind you, this is a corporate job (boo) and not as clever as my work (hiss) but it’s still pretty cool to watch them at work.
Should I put a mask on, film myself working and make it into a timelapse?
This is exactly what it looks like - a bloke throwing a javelin, but instead of a javelin it’s a missile. What’s funny is that there is actually a kind of missle called a javelin… however this isn’t one. This is a commentary on the fact that the British government has put missiles on tower blocks in East London.
However… it’s also got a deeper meaning. Can you guess what it is?
