Hi

What do you think of the art work of Banksy, the graffiti artist who likes to remain anonymous :?: Scroll down on this link to see his work.

I think some of these are very clever and funny.

I like his sense of humour

In august he did one on the seafront in the town where I live. It was excellent. It was a little girl building sandcastles on the beach and the sand castles all have t*sco on them. The reason for that is they built the biggest one here 2 years ago.

I hate going to t*sco with a passion and don't agree with how they have invaded the market and the loss of a lot of little grocer shops. So he was spot on. It has been covered with perspex and a lot of people came to see it.

Some good press for Hastings as we get so much bad national press.

Hi Joan,

I like it and he has settled down now and tries to brighten up the drudge of inner cities. He is good as well

There is another one can't think of his tag but he is coming along nicely and might get as good or even better.... He tends to do black rights a bit but personally I can support that one.

Hope your doing ok and purrs t Tommy from this lot who actually have a bit of sun... but a swamp outside the door The lodgers are going soon the mud wont be (((( )))) Cris xx

Has anyone ever heard of this artist who creates 3D street paintings? I think they're excellent.

i'm from Bristol originally and I have always loved his stuff - the naked man on the sexual health clinic is inspired
There is one on a wall just by my brothers flat - I presume that as its been there a while that the council have deemed it ok

Hi Joan
I love them, can you imagine if they where on canvas and he could sell them, he would be worth a fortune, but I don't think he is interested in the money side.

Hi Nina

Thanks for posting this. The 3D effects are amazing I had heard of Edgar Meuller before. There's a video of him creating his picture of The Crevasse on this link. Fascinating stuff :!: I love anything like this.

Animated graffiti.

7 minutes long but well worth watching IMO.

Thanks for this Del. I enjoyed watching the Animated graffiti. It was very surrealistic, and cleverly done. It was rather disturbing in places, especially the creepy ending with all the insects :shock: :shock: Great stuff though
