Anyone else seen a real 'Banksy'?

[flexpattern]

I have. This one is only about 5 minutes walk from my house. Found it yesterday down a side street. Unfortunately some local taggers have tagged over it and ruined it (dunno if you can ruin graffiti but whatever), Some experts reckon it was worth around £20,000! It's now been tagged over and stuff... oh well! It's the girl with a balloon saying 'No Future' on his website http://www.banksy.co.uk/outdoors/outuk/horizontal_1.htm

So anyone else seen a 'real banksy'?

P.s I might try to get a picture of the current state of it tomorrow if there isn't too much snow

That's some pretty sweet work. Honestly I had never heard of Banksy till the Simpsons intro though.

If you like Banksy, See "Exit Through The Gift Shop". Such a good movie

used to work at a coffee shop in park city and he tagged the side of our building at sundance.

 

[Dan.]

nope, but I've partied with shepard fairey, who I have no respect for, so I guess that's not really a claim. wish I could meet banksy.

 

[b-ladd]

I live in Toronto and banksy came by sometime last year. I am always near it but always forget to see it.

Heres a really cool link:

Shows where they all are, and what they look like now. Only one of them is pretty much fully intact because they put a sheet of plastic over it after seeing all the others get tagged over.
