i think if you can separate the hype from the work itself.. his concepts and designs are flawless. now whether a stencil is worth more than the paint, its another question.
- how can you talk concepts and design and then talk about the price of paint?max_prophet
- dont answer cos I dont really care, I just can't help but argue with... anything really, doesn't matter what I thinkmax_prophet

You know what the problem is with graphic designers? We make shit. Uninteresting, unremarkable shit.
Now I'm not some grungy wannabe designer that's searching for existentialism through a haze of bong smoke or anything. It's easy to pick apart cliches, short-sighted design briefs and a purely moronic slapping together of images that many agencies term as 'prose'.
No, I'm talking about a lack of creativity. We are inundated with shit, design and advertising that corporate big wigs sign-off and press upon us as consumers.
If you're interested in engaging design work, new ideas and purchasing a piece of my creativity instead of a pile of shit, please contact me."
lol, can i please purchase two aol intranet templates and some snapshots of your mates.

I didn't pose the question to stir the shit, but Banksy is a forum hand grenade. Pull the pin and run.
I think that says something.

Most likely jealous they didn't think to do something so simple first.

"haha, 20 grand my arse."What annoys you so much he commands prices like this? That fact that's it's shit/good work, or the fucking muppets that buy and demand it that drives this kind of price?
I enjoyed the first Banksy I saw and the ones after it. For free.
Having a Warhol vs. Banksy exhibit was over the fucking top.

Oh, and for all you drop puts, that quote above is a reference to one of Churchill's most famous speches, it's not about Banksy's ego.

I don't know if it's because I'm just a bitter, joyless individual, but Banksy, nor art in general does much for me anymore. Every time I get taken along to a gallery I start wondering what the establishments bar's like.

"hate comes with success."
by LlanteraNah, hate or dislike for Banksy comes from him selling out and becoming 'the man' who he set out in the start to make a mockery out of.
It's down to greed on his behalf and that's why we should boycott even talking about the c*nt
lol
- it's not just one guy. it may have started out as such but not any more. have you heard aphex twin? they rock! ;Dlvl_13

Bansky?
Who?
The guy who creates as 30 years ago?
Who criticizes the world like everyone does it?Woooooo!!! I am a rebel, I draw on the walls, like 15 million years ago, with l' old of the caves! What a innovation!
The "rebellion" is in fact an afflicting mondialized conformism...
