Found on a street corner in Islington, London. The guy is an utter genius.

No one can say if it was "Banksy" or not. When I first saw him, I thought he was a vandal. But now sweets I agree with you. pure genius.

I love his work. His pictures are perfect in my eyes. My lad's got a book with 100's of pictures of his artwork in and it really does take my breath a way.

I love the way, like in this new one, that he uses things that are already there as an intregral part of his work.

Fantastic!

The bloke is a twat. Graffiti is vandalsim, simple. Some of the graffiti i see on the side of trains and train tracks is obviously brilliant art but i dont respect the fools that do it.
I used to follow him very carefully and for some reason or other i used to be on he's e-mail bulletin. He always used to go on about "smashing the state" and "the evil rich" but nobodies benefited from consumerism culture more than himself.
Look at the money the guy makes for he's so called "art", its absolutely ridiculous. All modern art is crap!!!!!. This idiot gets away scott free with crime as he has been adopted by the middle class idiots and trendy yuppies with nothing better to do with they're money.

There is no getting away from the fact that the guy is a world class artist. OK, he's not the nicest bloke in the universe but he is certainly very gifted.

come on he makes thousands for the communities his work pops up in. visitors travel miles to see it and spend money in the town.
Bristol recently went ballistic when a couple of council workers cleaned his art work off a wall. cost the city loads a money.

You can NOT want ther police to arrest people for breaking your fence in one breath, and call this bastard vandle a "hero" in the next.
