London street art 2: Banksy
12/11/04
London. Banksy is probably the world's most famous stencil artist; as far as I know, he's never been to New York, so I was looking forward to catching some of his work in London. I believe everything above is a Banksy piece; in addition, one commenter suggested that one or two of yesterday's pieces were Banksy's as well; I don't know which ones. And the bouncers in the second-to-last photo here are apparently by Banksy.

The last pic in your previous set is a very similar to the third banksy pic down, on the right. But there are some differences (the banksy site one has the bottle closer, without an x on it, and that face looks sharper...) And they appear to be in different locations.

The rats are most definitely Banksy or a v. good copycat. I 'collect' the rats:

The drunken fallen angel is also Banksy. Did you get a chance to visit Santa's Ghetto whilst in London?

I don't know how I feel about spray painting cows. I'm no PETA nut, but I know I wouldn't want to be spray painted.
The rats, though, are really cool.
And, of course, I thoroughly enjoyed these pictures, as usual.

Are you saying that s/he actually spraypaints cows?
That's pretty fucked up (spraypainting trees is also.)

I never said what was right or wrong,just merely stating some things that are featured on his site.

Can anyone help. I live in St Albans, in Hertfordshire and we have an old abandoned odeon cinema in london road. On the front of the cinema is a stencil of an angel. It looks like one of Banksy's work. Has anyone seen it/know for certain if it's real or a very good fake.

appreciate the angel for what it is. when you say real or fake you imply that someone tried to pass it off as something it's not. it sounds cool though i'll check it out
