One Nation Under Banksy
Although it’s popular to sound cynical and bored with Banksy these days, i still think there’s something very appealing about the thought of sneaking around in the dark, batman-styley, doing naughty things to buildings. And i’d rather my urban world be filled with ‘advertising’ of this nature than billboards blandly selling mundane household goods any day. I was on my way into town on Sunday when i spotted this from miles off. I couldn’t understand how i’d never seen it before, lamenting my seemingly unobservant nature on the way to Topshop… When today, it turns out it was snuck up on Saturday night! - scaffolding and all. So it’s fresh this weekend. Image nicked from Wooster Collective. Banksy there’s a massive blank wall on the end of my house you can have. Come and get it!

im not beign cynical for the sake of it, but being against advertising and at the same time seling your albums in all the corporate networks stores is just, well, cynical ;) still, he did a lot of cool stuff.

Why would you ever be bored with Banksy? I still think it’s pretty cool.

I still love Banksy!
I wondered about that piece and have seen it a few times, and just thought it was fun. You can’t see the figures from Oxford Street, so I didn’t get it was a Banksy, and I was obviously too preoccupied with buying new jeans to go and have a closer look!
