    the dover brexit one would be a lot better if the stars represented member states, unfortunately they don't so it doesn't really make sense

    They used to though. Stopped when they thought anymore would make the flag look too crowded
    nah. for starters the flag is older than the eu. there was a period of nearly a decade though when, by coincidence, the number of stars was the same as the number of eu members

    He's a criminal, no different to drug dealers and murderers

    I never imagined Banksy to look like that.

    Cool, just read up on the history.
  • How the hell did he paint it in one night and not get seen/caught?
  • Bloody genius, love it.

    Never understood why none of the press have ever outed his identity??

    Huge fan, been collecting his work for years and am off to his Bethlehem hotel in October. Google banksy Jamaica if you want to see what he looks like.
  • His film Exit Through the Gift Shop is well worth a watch. Incredibly interesting and not what you might think. Not sure if it is true or a denouncement of the entire art scene, but he created a monster.
  • Think his stuff is brilliant.
  • Bloody genius, love it.

    They have, Robin Gunningham is supposedly his name. Outed in 2008 and some University research last year pretty much confirmed it.
  • I can see why he took on an alias name!
  • How the hell did he paint it in one night and not get seen/caught?

    He had about half a dozen Poles in, to do it.

    The erect a scaff and work under a tarp, just looks like general building work that way
  • You ever met him @shine166 ?

    He has a talent for a particular type of art. Some people like what he does, some don't, but there is a consensus in the 'art world' that he makes good art. I'd hazard a guess that the people paying hundreds of thousands for his work know bugger all about art but just want to own something that has a name.

    Not personally, but I have good friends that regularly work on projects with him as assistants.

    When I started collecting his work it was £175 for a print. The same images are 20k now.. so going to the projects like Dismaland are as close as my wallet allows now days !

    Some think it isn't one person Boss, but a collective

    Robert Del naja aka 3D is a great artist in his own right (I collect his work also).. but he's not banksy. He has a team of artists, but it's technically not a collective.
