google 'banksy'
he's a graffiti 'artist'
( mictoboy, Thu 28 Dec 2006, 20:53, archived)

I'd say he's more of a 'graffiti' artist.

grafitti:
writing on walls

his stuff involves writing, on walls
( mictoboy, Thu 28 Dec 2006, 20:59, archived)

and an awful lot more besides

( HappyToast sorted on, Thu 28 Dec 2006, 21:00, archived)

meh

( mictoboy, Thu 28 Dec 2006, 21:00, archived)

a lot more ^

It's more art than any other graffiti artists
Because it's technically very good, and is always quite humourous and conceptual.

Although his stuff is usually liked by middle class white people who have probably only ever seen graffiti whilst on a train to camden.

yes, this^
I find him overrated though.

any cunt with a photocopier, some card and a sharp knife can do what he does
putting a picture of an authority picture (a cop/ guardsman/whatever) pissing up a wall, does not make you 'edgy'

Oh so art is about skill then?
The 19th century called, they want their ideas back.
( slight yoinks!, Thu 28 Dec 2006, 21:09, archived)

erm, as i said
his ideas are hackneyed cliches
the fact that the execution of those ideas is simplistic is secondary
( mictoboy, Thu 28 Dec 2006, 21:25, archived)

well you have mostly gone on about his technique being easy

Theres a lot more to it than writing on walls
Chavvy idiots with slags phone numbers do that. Stencils are fucking hard.
( SugarSpunSister www.facebook.com/pages/SugarSpun/8347697732, Thu 28 Dec 2006, 21:04, archived)

stencils are not hard

( mictoboy, Thu 28 Dec 2006, 21:08, archived)

Meh. I struggled with them
Either way, its prettier than a blank wall.

What have you got against Banksy?

( Albert the Mildly Deranged purveyors of nothing much since a year or two ago, Thu 28 Dec 2006, 20:54, archived)

defacement of public property?

( mictoboy, Thu 28 Dec 2006, 21:01, archived)

Defacement?
A lot of his work consitutes an improvement to the place it was painted.

"smug insufferable twat"?
*cough*

his early stuff
still litters Bristol. Looks like a 10 year old with a crayon in most places.... Rot. Is. Not. Art.

Well then it's indistinguishable
from the rest of the graffiti that you get in every urban area.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and he's risen far above the level of most bored kids with spraycans.
