Hats off to Banksy
- Thread starter Shooms
- Start date
yeah Bansky is a good artist, I think he has gone main stream now though and his art is not really what it 1st started out being with its political undertones, now because of his popularity and showing his work in commercial galleries he has sold out slightly to consurmersim, especially with the likes of celebrity collectors like brad and angelina etc.. Its hard to take his artworks politcial stance serious now.
to be honest though i dont blame him as we all got to earn a living & pay the bills
if you like this type of street art check out this site... Wooster Collective

Imo
political comedy is the best kind. Thats why I love mark thomas so much as well as banksy. Glad I picked up several signed limited edition prints for £350 a long long time ago. I won;'t depress you and tell you what they are worth now

yep spot on.....
those are them.....
There is a gallery that exclusively sells banksy prints. The problem is now. Shortly after they announce they are selling them the website goes down cause of traffic and tons of peeps trying to make loads on ebay. This gallery still sells them arounf £300 to £400 then they appear on ebay for 10x that shortly afterwards. The last time I got as far as having one in my shopping trolley. I clicked checkout and the site went down.
Pics of them below (I hope they are the right ones :$ )
