As I reported this week, Banksy dropped some NEW pieces in Los Angeles. Well, the one showing the security guard holding a Jeff Koons balloon dog has been taken. This afternoon I found this online. The thieves were caught in action and it is rumoured to be none other than Ace Gallery owner Doug Christmas. Watch the video below!
Here are some new fun pieces by uber artist Banksy. I like the fact he is taking the piss out of artist Jeff Koons in the above shot. The image below is no doubt a statement about there being no where for kids to grow up and play any more. Everything is a parking lot no a days. I LOVE BANKSY!!

“Ignorance can be costly in the Banksy exploitation business. It was reported that “bungling workmen painted over a mural by famed street artist Banksy worth £100,000″. Last week, 60-year-old Sam Khan, purveyor of luggage and football scarves to the denizens of Tottenham Court Road, London, was inconsolable after flogging a Banksy that had been painted on his stall for £1,000 and discovering that it could be worth £500,000. Poor love.”
Banksy’s real name is NOT, as is commonly believed and has been widely reported, Robert or Robin Banks. In July 2008, it was claimed by The Mail that Banksy’s real name is Robin Gunningham
After following a white paint trail around the streets of shoreditch it ends up at this stencil.
Banksy’s recent journey to America included a trip to New Orleans to decorate some of the buildings affected by Hurricane Katrina. On his website, Banksy talks about his first impressions of Nola: “I looked out the window of the taxi on the drive into New Orleans and remarked ‘There’s still so much devastation – I can’t believe they haven’t cleaned this mess up.’ To which the driver stared at me and said ‘This part of wasn’t affected by the hurricane – it’s always looked like this.’”
“How illegal is it to vandalize a wall,” asks Banksy in his website introduction to his Wall project, “if the wall itself has been deemed unlawful by the International Court of Justice? The Israeli government is building a wall surrounding the occupied Palestinian territories. It stands three times the height of the Berlin wall and will eventually run for over 700km – the distance from London to Zurich.
The “guerrilla artist” Banksy has helped to transform the security barrier that surrounds the town with more than a dozen satirical images painted, plastered and sprayed on to the 8m-high (26ft) concrete. The work winds a trail to the heart of the city at Manger Square, where more than a dozen pieces are housed directly across from the Church of the Nativity. More info on the Wall project, here. Wach video here.
Located on the side of a building in Bethlehem, Occupied West Bank. The piece is located on one of the main roads, leading out towards the Bethlehem checkpoint to Jerusalem. It is drawn on the side of a building, not on the Wall itself, largely for security reasons. The soldiers do not take kindly to professional entities spending a lot of time at one place on the Wall. Such people are generally arrested for terrorist activity and accused of trying to destroy, blow up, or weaken the structure.
“This wall marks the spot where over 40 people were killed during the first Intafada (the little holes along the top are from bullets). While Banksy was painting it a lot of people came over, some to shake his hand and others telling him to go away. Eventually the local MP was called out to diffuse the eighty-strong crowd that had built up (by which time Banksy had left and the piece was completed by the local kids). “
Not a common graffiti, but it’s on Banksy’s official website.
In February, 2008 a stencilled graffiti work appeared on Thames Water tower in the middle of the Holland Park roundabout, and it was widely attributed to Banksy. It was of a child painting the tag “Take this Society” in bright orange. London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham spokesman, Councillor Greg Smith branded the art as vandalism, and ordered its immediate removal, which was carried out by H&F council workmen within three days
The Westminster City Council stated in October 2008 that the work “One Nation Under CCTV”, painted in April 2008 will be painted over as it is graffiti. The council says it will remove any graffiti, regardless of the reputation of its creator, and specifically stated that Banksy has no more right to paint graffiti than a child. The work was painted over in April 2009.
“Ah rats!! spilt the nuclear waste. “
“Rat Restaurant with red carpet.”
“Hordes of photographers descended on Savemain pharmacy in Essex Road, Islington, after so-called “guerrilla artist” Banksy painted a large mural on the wall. It depicts three children pledging allegiance to a flagpole with a Tesco plastic bag flying from it.” – Islington Gazette
The premise is, that Banksy's stencils are drawn over the messages, that were previously left by other “street criminals”.
Naked Man image by Banksy, on the wall of a sexual health clinic in Park Street, Bristol. Following mad popular support from the locals, the City Council have decided it will be allowed to remain!!
Great video featuring artists Case, Typism + Akut collaborating at the Village Underground.
