one of the best artists in over a decade. powerful statements made humorous. better than mindless retro big daddy roth style

will go down in history as one of the best artists of this generation. while social commentary is made by most through circuitry and sitting on nice chairs, he continues to take it to the streets and react to a disturbing political climate. bravo.

Walked into a shop in Brighton at the weekend, and would have to part with £500 for a print, to be honest I prefered his art fresh on the street, where it should be.
I would of cetainly bought a Jamie Hewlett print instead

re: the lack of "undergroundness" in banksy's work these days ....
would be interested to hear what other real graffiti artists think of banksy selling out to big publications / book deals to be sold in tesco and the like

If you see the book look at the quote from the Metropolitan Police on the back:
"There is no way we're going to give you a quote to put on the back of your book."
Class act.
