Artist Banksy strikes at London chemist

[lionkillingnebbish]

Banksy you thieving, copying, plaigirising little mug. Sending down your pathetic flunkies to Robbo's gallery. How dare you insult Robbo, claiming you never heard of him. You wanker, I'm glad he dished out a slap. Learn some manners you little prick.

[myaccountsdisabled]

Banksy is a fucking prick. I hope someone cuts off his hands for breaking the laws of graffiti.

[getlikemc]

@myaccountsdisabled in what ways? and how are there laws of graffitii? It's a fucking art form.

[ukipwarrior]

he shud have kept it be a great tourist attraction and money spinner

[TheBigezee77]

yes he got a hardon as soon as she said 300k

[chatjackeruk]

fucking ads........i dont want it.!



[animaonathens]

Banksy is a legend.

[Shoryuken4u]

You know what would be a real sickener? If some talentless, low life saw it not knowing what it was and decided to scribble his worthless "tag" all over it!

[lionkillingnebbish]

@Shoryuken4u the real crime, is what that smart arsed little dick did to Robbo's piece under the bridge in Camden. Why he would do a thing like that to a real legend like Robbo? Does Banksy seriously expect us to believe that Robbo didn't give him a slap that time? There has to be a reason he defaced Robbo's piece. 

[Shoryuken4u]

@lionkillingnebbish I agree. It's just not on to do that to someone's work of art.... athough neither is slapping someones face for no good reason.

[lionkillingnebbish]

@Shoryuken4u Hold on...there was an excellent reason for Robbo slapping Banksy. In fact he's lucky he got away that lightly. Like Robbo said in the film, "I'd always pretend I'd heard of a writer when I met him, even if I hadn't". That's because Robbo has got class and manners. Not so Banksy, who was clearly triing to diss Robbo. How could Banksy NOT have heard of Robbo in 1995? Even I'D heard of Robbo in 1990! Plus you should respect your elders and your betters and those who are 6 foot 8 !

[yugoterror]

wow this video gave me shivers

[dankalishious]

banksy is jesus stuffed into a private man's life...incredibly smart and talented at the same time that he can pretty much get away with anything because he knows everything the world has to offer -AKA "jesus"...knows what's going on in the world-reads newspapers often..insanely down to earth-he speaks true meaning through works of art..showing in relations of objects and everyday problems just what is meant by his works. in order to understand his art you must think outside the box (lightbulb)

[TheFoxxyone]

the 3 ppl who disliked were crossed out by banksy

[punkobregon]

bien chingon

[sowhatsnew205]

he wants them to take the wall down and replace it so he can sell it..its all about money to them.,....they have no idea do they?!!!

[Saytahne666]

"He'll never be rich enough" Pwned XD

[Manduhsays]

why try to make a profit from someone elses work? just let it be.

[Yom1848]

the 2 people who disliked this were crossed by BANKSY.

[therealpsp1mp]

there is no image. everyone is reading way to far into it.

its not a job, not a business, its an expression. those of you sticking up for it not being removed, good job, you have no idea what street art is about.

its put up to be removed. he wouldnt do it if he opposed that. he does the things people wish they could do, but the tact and context encourages you to do so. instead of fighting a war online, fight it on walls and bridges with a marker or a spraycan. 

[bamcis17]

If he painted that shit on my wall I would sell the wall and cash out. Check please :)

[gregahunt]

you motherfuckers. leave it where it is.

[kamikrazi123]

Shut the fuck up and stop praising Banksy, you mindless drones. It's not about him, it's about his work. I swear, you're all just the same as the people who buy his work at auctions. Street art's getting more and more perverted by the idiocy in society.

[tirmazi27]

BANKSY RULES!!!!!!!

[LudaMusser]

I read a post on another site made by a guy who was sitting on a bus and saw somebody spray painting this on the wall. In the morning he went past again and saw it finished, he then realised what it was and who he had seen in the act. That`s an insanely rare sighting!!

[retardsincharge]

banksy is amazing. he is an art terrorist with a lawyer and a manager. the people that take his art and sell it are assholes, removing a mural done for the public and selling it is wrong. i can understand why he wants to sell his work, even through his manager. he has to get money for his supplies somehow, right? there is no way banksy works somewhere for a paycheck when all he has to do is have his manager sell a painting and he has this months rent and the next months and the next months....

[Trixsem]

sellout???? what banksy does is his form of tagging he puts it up where it feels right just like any graffiti artist, so what if its not a simple tag. this is how he expresses himself

[Anduy]

two people hold high positions at Tesco

[irresistablejewel]

The art fairy?

[TheNevii]

@irresistablejewel He comes in the night, you never see him, and he leaves beautiful pieces of art in exchange for bland walls. And he has wings. And a wand.

[FossilKane]

I Live right down the road from there!!! they put glass over it so people cant graffiti it

[earnslife]

BANKSY IS A SELL OUT

[AndrewRobertNewman]

@earnslife thats not a sellout u idiot >.>

[earnslife]

@AndrewRobertNewman yes he is fuckwit watch his movie

[njlacrosse9]

@earnslife he doesn't get the money...

[babug3unit]

this is too fucked up !!!! how the fuck can people put value a mural ??? this world falls like the wtc !

[dullahgg]

anti supermarkets ahha

[liamhunt87]

banksy must think wow i could do with some money

[Trixsem]

@liamhunt87 no cause he gets money through his art manager who sells his canvas for like 3000-60,000 pounds

[snowfool111]

if anyone would be stupid enough to sell a banksy painting on a wall! their smart enough to jump off a fuckin bridge.

[YourEyeWitness]

Reminds me of this threadless tshirt: threadlessDOTcom/product/126.h­tml

[DavidWicked]

anti-supermarket...fucking moron

[SH0CK3I2]

@DavidWicked Try running your own shop for a few years and then see how much you like supermarket competition

[MONKEES914]

Rate ''Spamdownftw'' 's comment up!~~~!~!~!~!

[OnlyFearOfDeath]

banksy is basically make other people wealthy with his art. what a bad ass mother fucker.

[666jack]

that sucks he paints a wall people tear it down and sell it for thousands... it's starting to be very counter productive

[Namaechan]

@666jack Well, it is their walls, after all, and he didn't ask for persmission. It all works out, the way i see it ^_^ At least in this case. Me, i wouldn't removie it, tho :) It's be like throwing away a gift.

[Lmpfapo1]

@666jack Unless of course Banksy's got a heart of gold and did that so the man could have more money for his shop. But I wouldn't tear it down, I'd love it too much.

[SuperBandstand]

"The wall,safe haven for what is forbidden,gives a voice to all those who would,without it be condemned to scilence" brassai

[Cull23skicougar]

"I'm very anti-supermarkets"

its like him and banksy are connected. Legend though, positive about the work

[TehCaptainSid]

thank god banksy painted a wall to someone who appreciated it

[LodemaiT]

Why would you need to demolish a wall to get rid of graffiti? Just paint over it.

And no, I'm not against Banksey, I've been a fan ever since I hear of him. Finally a street artist with a message!

[Keo77]

@LodemaiT people don't demolish walls with Banksy's work on it to get rid of it!

The reason people take down walls with Banksy's art on them is so they can sell them to private bidders at auctions,

If you ask me, this essentially defeats the entire object of Banksy's work. The entire purpose of his pieces is to give the masses a piece of art to be enjoyed for free, not so some rich sod can buy it at auction & lock it up & keep it all to them self!

[Bowser2847]

Tbh, Islington in London, id keep it on there to attract tourism, then lure them into my shop with random gooods :)

[1nf3]

if anybody doesnt know the mural is under plastic for a long time now. i agree with this, anyway, it benefits the property in every imaginary way

[RIKIEatHOME]

hell cmon admit it if it was on your wall you would sell it, you could buy a house for that price...

[dpbowen22]

I think his work is brilliant and a great message to people that dont like his work. Keep up the good work and hope one day the right people will take noties too

[richyb21]

art dump feb 2010 get yours? free art, b08 (dot) co uk

[thefunkygeezer]

I love this piece

Kind of think Banksy's art belongs where it's done & shouldn't be shipped off & flogged

[sweffe96]

He probably knows Banksy! ;D

[loofah76dbk]

Isn't it great there is still some mistery in this world?I don't want to know who he is,but I hope he goes on with his art as long as he can.

So:will the real Banksy please NOT stand up:-D

[purplekush604]

ironic...true to what graffiti stands for, yet his vandalism is more welcomed than despised...

even when his own artwork goes for 300,000 he still remains incognito and doesnt recieve a penny...

you cant put a price on the philosophy he lives by... to not sell out his infamy in replace with millions

[aifammafiaaifam]

i am sparticus

[aleaz23]

do you need a bag today?

[nobogroll]

a think a done that in record time me !!!

[raaabb1t]

lol! "i'm very anti-supermarkets"

[DAxNB]

graffiti hero

[Daized2009]

No I am, Im goin to paint ur house (then peel it off & sell it)

[gardenofarcane]

I told you to say that! i am the real Bansky = P

[UnstableFailureX]

I love how his art doesn't anger the residents of whom confide within the areas he works.

Such as this guy, he seemed to like it.

Said what it mean't to him, and he agreed.

Banksy really is just one anonymous hero.

[StormRisingOriginal]

his art almost brings a new kind of tear to my eye.

[Smileyg]

nice lil video u shd check out my graffti videos

[entropyhd]

ingeniously peeled from walls . . . you've got to be kidding me!! art can kill anything!!

[Jakeslacker1]

£300,000 ... LOL thats what you call luck.

[zedascouves78]

is he banksy or bansky?

[marcibros]

banksy

[homerjaysimpson5]

banksy is the best street artist ever

[20lukebailey09]

legend

[Spamdownftw]

Banksy FTW he is an insparation to us all.

[christian31877]

I think remaining as an unknown person is the best thing Banksy has done. he doesn't have to put up with the over the top lovers. He doesn't have to answer questions from haters or lovers. He can do what he likes and make money from it.

Not many people on this earth can say they do a job they enjoy.

Me? I'm a deodrant tester and sniff armpits.

[sunnyGsss]

maaan ...im lerning bout him in yr8 art and he gets like 3min to do al that then he just runs for it b4 police find him n stuf....he sooo good and clever

[ryannolimits]

any other stencil artist they would be completly difftent attitude wide, the common people probably wouldnt know the diffrence anyway the pricks

[FifiGhaith]

Banksy has to be one of the most inspirational artists!

[santyrush]

Banksy is not a real graffiti, not style real.... he mark with mask.....

[Flamestrke]

well do you know how much skill it takes to make a multi layered stencil like that ??

And besides, if he has no style how do people recognize his work so easily ???

[Kirilltraceur]

he is more real than anyone else

[santyrush]

really. I`m sure...

[kromed01]

This piece was painted over by a group calling themselves "War of the Walls". The whole pieceat the top was screwed.

Banksy also knew the guy who is the chemist and knew he had money problems so did it with his permission.

[plzuttaren]

wow coool graffiti, the best one was the yellow flower and the sitting artist

[BillFr00g]

excellent - love how the chemist hates Tesco. Right on!  Banksy scores again!

[seapoidog]

Banksy is a graffiti god.

[wonderbread93]

no.

[METZfaze]

this interview was horrible

[ECCY101]

why do people care so much about the money...

[lostwithoutwings]

[jondea0]

[wafflekid1]

[Lifeonthescene]

you suck

[wafflekid1]

im saying the person who painted over banksys piece sucks. someone buffed this with white paint. banksy is fucking awesome.

[djisgod666]

was prob a tesco employee lol

[wafflekid1]

i love banksy. good to see people are taking this positively

[deanlovesparmo]

Banksy is a artistic GENIOUS!

[Toitutitube]

Banksy is a vandal. What he is doing is illegal.

[RacerEckss]

Yes, but it's beautiful.

[AngryDaven]

The people putting protective glass over his works are vandals. Banksy is a genius.

[Toitutitube]

When did i say vandals and criminals can't be genius? I never said it's a bad thing!

[asaavedra78]

@AngryDaven

What would be dope is protective glass over his pieces on the streets instead of rooms.

[Keo77]

@AngryDaven i'm not really sure I see what you mean here?

The entire reason why for people putting protective glass over pieces of Banksy's street art is to preserve it & prevent graffiti removal firms from white washing it off!

In my personal opinion, the people who need to be stopped are the people choosing to white wash his work as it brightens up the cities!

[Ceruleanism]

@AngryDaven I agree, but at least they don't scrub it off...

[superparkourboy]

banksy rulez

[nicesatu]

love banksy

[dnbjunkie2008]

supermarkets have taken over, thats what he is saying! being a mini market's wall is just adding to the irony! BANKSY U R A GENIOUS!

[themalloys]

[magicbackpack15]

it pisses me off that he sends messages

and does the graff thats illegal then goes to a gsallery and sells it grrrrrrrrrrr

[tomtaylor1993]

do you mean your annoyed at banksy or annoyed at the pricks who decide to tear it down and steal his artwork? banksy is a legend :)

[H4x04]

Banksy DOES sell artwork at auction, search for it.

BUT that does not mean he has sold out.

All that means is hes making a living doing what he loves to continue doing what he loves.

[WrongHandLane]

I agree that he has the right to make a living off of what he loves but that negates the whole persona of being a street artist.

[Yungahnewerakid]

init do you listen at all?

[joey1359]

i wouldnt sell it thats not the idea banksy has in mind to do with his works of art and i think they guy got the message of the painting wrong ..hasnt it got something to do with patriotism and how its misleading to the wrong or buiseness?

[RicePudden]

thats awesome, i woul totaly sale taht! too

[RicePudden]

thats awesome, i woul totaly sale taht! too
