    Banksy

    • we all came here to post this...
      ********
    • https://static.tvtro…_niko
    • I like it.Hayzilla
    • there is no way this is banksy. if it is, then banksy suddenly became a trite and talentless amateursarahfailin
    • ^ https://www.instagra…Krassy
    • sarahfailin and why is that?
      since he has various drawings with the style like this?
      ********
    • ^ +Krassy
    • ^+-x÷moldero
    • i'm asking this seriously. without mention that this drawing is technically near perfect (proportions, textures etc), what is your point here?
      ********
    • qbn always has and always will hate Banksy. I don't get it. Guy does some good stuff.inteliboy
    • I think the point is that the social media trope of nurses being heroes is already overdone and cliche, and Banksy is usually more of a leader than a follower.Melanie
    • inteliboy lol know that. as a matter of fact i think this shows greatly why banksy is a shite trendwhore. just wanted to see sarahfailin's opinion on this one:)
      ********
    • he elevated Grafitti art, his pieces worked because of the environments they were in, the medium and message had great synergy. Conceptually this is just ok_niko
    • Let's be clear Banksy is not a "graffiti artist or writer" he is a "street artist".utopian
    • Yes, not a graffiti artist.
      ********
    • And he didn't elevated anything.
      ********
    • ok stand corrected - street art, and meant elevated the exposure_niko
    • uhh yea not his style unless he's outsourcing now
      ********
    • maybe the artists intention wasn't drawing attention to the artist or making a statement, rather than it is a sign of appreciation towards the workers as wellmekk
    • as a donation, given the artwork is worth a lot.mekk
    • B. left a note for hospital workers, which read: "Thanks for all you're doing. I hope this brightens the place up a bit, even if its only black and white“.uan
    • ^ this. The plan is to sell it to raise some quids.MrT
    • I always liked banksy (and qbn was the place where I first heard of him)SimonFFM
    • if one of us did and posted it here we'd be frothing with congrats and appreciation.inteliboy
    • Plot twist: All the dolls in the trash can are dismembered...robotron3k
    • And if it is banksy it's pretty meh.robotron3k
    • Kudos to him, just a great marketing stunt to elevate his own brand. His PR stunt is on every news broadcast and newspapers across the planet. Fucking genius!utopian
    • 1. concept is trash. 2. the waste bin is trash. 3. the best thing the detail on the overalls 4. the proportions are not close to perfect. look at the ear...sarahfailin
    • the lower hand, the upper arm is the length of the kid's body. 5. the superhero thing has been done. Bonus gripe: mixing Marvel and DC. ;)sarahfailin
    • extra bonus gripe: he's 'working from home' or whatever, which is also a dumb, played out message. he should stick to street art. he can still socially distancesarahfailin
    • for the record, i LIKE banksy's work. I think this is embarrassing though.sarahfailin
    • embarrassing is how you spit out hate to someone you don‘t know and how you reveal your misunderstanding of what art can be.uan
