Oh the Irony that after years of illegal spray painting of Govt property they give him prime space to showcase his wares....

Awesome! Is he selling out? Truthfully I doubt it. I hope this is a one off.

he'll be accountable for all the "vandalism" he's done over the years, eh?
the best stunt that could be pulled would be the police organising an "exhibition" and invite Banksy along to do some work (he wouldnt know its a police sting).
he arrives and is confronted with lots and lots of photos of his own work. under each one is a pricetag, this pricetag isnt the price of the piece, it's the price of the damage or repair costs due to his vandalism.
he is then arrested and is offered a "get out of jail" card if he pays all the pricetags.

I'd go along too if i was down that way.
I do like the way he adds elements of humour to old classical paintings although this is nothing new.
My dads got a book from the late 70s/early 80s with paintings that have been 'changed' to add humorous things to it.
I've mentioned that book before in a Banksy thread on QBN, next time i'm back at my folks i'll see if I can find it.He's also got a load of "Graffiti" books which are pretty fat paperbacks with one-colour printed pages showing graffiti taken from walls, toilets and other public places from around the world.
It isnt "graffiti" in the sense of stencils and NY stylee subway tags/graffiti, it's just funny things that people have crawled onto blank walls or onto signs to make them humorous.I tried googling to find these books but I dont think they are even in print anymore and were out decades before the interweb.
I'll see if I can hunt them down when i'm back at my folks next time too. they are really good coffee table books or something to have sitting by the bog for reading when you knwo you are going to be in there for a while lol.
