| Banksy doing a Paris Hilton thing
Apparently this really is Banksy’s work, he’s linking to it from his own website and all that … which is a bit disappointing as it ain’t very clever or good. Still, I thought some folk here might find it interesting. Flickr photoset of the artwork YouTube video of the process

I think he’s a very talented illustrator, but that’s about it. I guess he’s pretty good at self-promotion, too.
This bit of work smacks of first year at art school, to me. Shame, as whilst I don’t see why he’s so idolised, I do think he’s better than this.

I saw this yesterday and was tempted to run to Virgin in Glasgow where he's said to have struck and have a swatch.
Paris Hilton is a fud as well.

Was Bansky responsible for the statements that appeared in yellow paint all over Glasgow a few years back?

A more cynical person mind

My Dad has been going ON AND ON AND FUCKING ON about this though, to the point where I have stopped talking to him when it can be avoided. | |
