Banksy filmed live by The Sunday Times

[ijanizi]

i think he knew that someones filming him ?

[jamiemuthafuckinray]

Everyone hating on banksy sound like the pompous art dickheads that talk graff down. grow up.

[shaneshanesmithsmith]

Banksy is Wank, a toy a fake a fraud a copy cat - using other people's talent, ideas and originality. Stencils are awesome if you're under 5 years of age.

If you want a banksy, just find any image you see and photo copy it.

It has as much artistic merit in it as a banksy piece.

LONG LIVE REAL ART IN THE STREET - GRAFFITI.

Respect to Robbo & his family.

[jfoley715]

@shaneshanesmithsmith He totally ripped off Blek Le Rat's style

[WESTYBABES247]

the number one rule for a piecer or tagger is dont go over someones work,,,

[SOAD2GIUGNO]

why war?? banksy is a genius, Robbo does nothing but talk about banksy .why? can not do their art and nothing else

[Sporcoification]

team robbo, all day, erry day

[VaLKeyy]

They are way better stencils than this political piece of trash.

No wonder writers go over his shit, it anit art.

[djmonsta200883]

TEAM ROBBO

[Bansky420]

good thing they didnt see my face..........



[powellpker]

a 10 year old kid could stencil lol

[illplaywithfire]

@powellpker he creates the stencils....

[powellpker]

@illplaywithfire creating stencils isn't graffiti sir :)

[MlkDog]

@powellpker It's not about the quality of the stencil, is what represents

[elmarko9]

IF U PAUSE AT O.O4 U CAN SEE A FACE ON THA WALL

[kyLewUZheER]

i feel like banksy might have known he was being video taped and yet still did his art work... maybe?

[lockoshamface]

Um link to this brilliant article online sir please??

[bebebutsm]

Dame. BANSKEY is beast.

[jordanlippo]

99% of all Team Robbo fans only know of him because of a documentary haha get over yourselves

[LondonFocusRS]

@jordanlippo Shows how much you no, most people that no about robbo are graffiti writers and it was people like robbo that were smashing little met yards like farringdon from like 1988 and was if not the biggest graffiti writer of that era.

Funny thing is where was banksy when people like robbo were out all hours of the morning doing dubs in yards risking his life doing shit on trains erh, he was not anywhere, fact is in the real underground graff world not one artist rates or respects banksy

[jordanlippo]

@LondonFocusRS Yes I agree with every word mate, and my comment was not targeted at you but the people who keep saying 'FUCK BANKSY, TEAM ROBBO', when they only know of Robbo due to the graffiti wars documentary. Believe me when I say that I totally love and rate artists like Robbo and crews like DDS and love hearing some of their stories about painting in yards like Farringdon. However, Banksy is not a bomber like them, he is the same as Da Vinci and Van Gogh but caught up in these crazy times.

[jordanlippo]

@LondonFocusRS The two cannot be compared, and believe me, i know alot more about graffiti than most of the people commenting on here.

[JamboBlud]

TEAM ROBBO!

[VikingVern7]

lol I wonder if this gave the sunday times ratings? Those monkies.

[TheAromaofchrist]

haha



[djnapster22]

@TheAromaofchrist lol



[alexeiivanovic]

Let's get out of this bipolar war bullshit. move forward. don't let anyone manipulate the big picture. This is the Issue: in the past was called "cold war" for example. you have to go on and get rid of this small and partial poit of view. swim on the spiral !!!

[animaonathens]

the difference between Banksy and Robbo is that the one got very popular and gain money and the other got jealous. Simple as that and it's obvious in the "Graffiti wars" shit of Channel 4. From streets to gallery and things like "oh how much i wanted to be professional artist and get payed" blah blah. My best wishes for the health of King Robbo but Banksy is miles away from any other artist. He evolved stencil in a fucking epic art form.

[samrollup]

the difference between banksy and robbo is the creativity level..

[Hmsfirefox]

am i missing something.... how did the sunday time know that "banksy" was going to do his bit of art just there on that wall

[Sydderz98]

@Hmsfirefox apparently they set him up but thats only what i herd soooooo.

[sammilionn]

fuck team robbo and fuck Banksy Too Its all about Lolita and Sten!

[TheNastyBoizKru]

robbo has no balls

[robinhoodsun]

all of you are caught up in your graffiti dogma and rules. personally, i don't give a shit about the rules of graffiti. most people who call themselves taggers create shit. what's so great about writing your name everywhere ...? at least banksy has some cool pictures to go with his name

[4getfool]

After watching like 20 Youtube videos of ppl claiming Bansky pieces, and listening to like 50 different ppl, all jocking Banksy. Its nice to actually see something identifiable to a Banksy piece.

[raulcortez13]

Fucking ridiculous how you guys are talkin shit about Bansky.Like any of you no lifes can do something that detailed.

[xUkRappiiDzZ]

banksy....

a style stealing fucking cunt who cant let the truth get out..

[808shark1]

Fuck bansky, team robbo! This is war!

[banq0o]

respect!

[brickhead48]

anybody calling this muppet at king clearly knows nothing about graffiti at all..

[PotentSnipin]

TEAM ROBBO!

[infraball]

wow... so much drama over nothing.

[DubstepForYouHD]

This isn't filmed by The Sunday Times, and i even also don't know if it is Banksy for real, cause banksy is left handed, and this guy is right handed.

[IAMxCraaazy]

robbo does it freehand a real artist ! and he a lot more creative and all round better artist

[korupcija4life]

he was knowing that they are recording him. that why he put monkey with camera..

[calebdvdsn]

Whoever says banksy doesn't have skill, or he's shit and steals from Blek le Rat. Shutup.. Banksy has an amazing amount of talent, he makes his stencils and does a breathtaking job at placement and design. Admittedly Blek did do the rat thing in the 80s I see no problem with Banksy using rats it'd be like getting pissed at an artist for using oil paints because they're ripping off of "Da Vinci" it's bullshit..he is an amazing artist. So is King Robbo. With that being said.

Team Banksy

[TheDengo66]

@calebdvdsn he didnt only took the rats, he pretty much took all bleks ideas hahaha. bansky's wack and yer a fag. fuck you from a cali haha

[plewkz]

@calebdvdsn no its more like somebody painting something da vinci did on a wall and claiming it for themself.

[MrCalx12]

stop hatin :P and do something your selfs

[ltvolker]

TEAM ROBBO <  FUCK wanksy !

[pixiedust570]

Banksy is awesome!! :)

[ZoLaRiiSk310]

banksy is a copy cat an bitch some one came out with his style in the 80's

[azzad5000]

@ZoLaRiiSk310 so true, because robbo invented his style. i'd never seen anything quite like writing your name on a wall in big letters with arrows before robbo came along... what a genius!!!

[ZoLaRiiSk310]

man fuck banksy team robbo all the way he come to la ill shoot him my self a got bullet still waiting for him and it got his name on it

[xIIToMoIIx]

team robbo

[traceradam]

no skill.

[MrPunkandPissed]

i had IMMENSE respect for banksy, until i found out about black le rat. fuck banksy and fuck robbo. this whole little graff war they have is so stupid. so fuck em both. i want new writers with less ego.

[mod9613]

banksy is so f------ cool

[TOXICPRODUCTIONS11]

bravo banksy bravo :)

[HowMasters]

This dude is clever with his shit, it's like Modern day Socrates.

[humphreylive]

if by sellout you mean he wants people to see his art, which is why he works on the streets, well, er, yeh, you're right!

[fixedworld]

Sellout



[humphreylive]

I have to correct a few mistakes in this thread - I arranged this cover art and feature interview with Banksy's agent myself. Banksy filmed it himself, then sent it to me as a file, which we uploaded onto the web. it was really as simple as that. The location was near Waterloo station in London, in some old Victorian tunnels. There you have it, almost straight from the horse's mouth. Scott Athorne

[humphreylive]

Also, this footage was definitely not in Exit Through the Gift Shop, it was filmed in January 2010. The original Banksy's footage was longer, but Timesonline cut about half out. Banksy had a couple of different ideas about what he wanted to create exclusively for us, although I don't now recall what the alternative was. He feels strongly about surveillance Britain, where we have more CCTV cameras than any other city in the world, I think. We won't mention News Int and phone tapping.

[tattooreptiles]

BANKSY!

[MarioManeski]

TEAM ROBBO !

Banksy is a cheater!

[lovranac7]

FUCK BANKSYYY ROBO KING !!!!!!!

[sentencecaptionnorep]

Fast!

[coronaextra99999]

Banksy is a TOY  Team ROBBO

[bloodbunny15]

i saw this thing called graffiti wars about banksy vs king robbo and the stuff was pretty mean but let's make a third party called the "i like them both but just stop the arguing" what do you say?

[JakeLeonard123]

@bloodbunny15 its a good programme

[nappa666]

@bloodbunny15 AGREED im sick of this pissing contest get over it move on with your life and make more and more art

[bloodbunny15]

@nappa666 exactly. finally someone who is sick of this arguing, there can be good people in this world. graffiti is not to cause arguments but to express feelings and opinionson certain topics that can be frowned upon by many "professional" art critics

[londonTown1989]

@bloodbunny15 Team Robbo

[joeb361]

@londonTown1989

[sophiethefairy]

That guy is a genius!

[xRyuBu]

i come from bristol and I have to say that I am proud! He is a living legend from my own city!

[E9LDN]

TEAM ROBBO, KILL BANKSY

[Eleazar823]

team robbo

[SamwiseButtie]

more like the times hiring a copy cat to gain attention

[LinkShack]

Banksy's real name is John Smith, but good luck tracking him down.

[TheHumanCrashDummy]

Listen dude ur an idiot to think that graffiti is bad, ITS ART YOU MORON

If graffiti is bad then what about drawing? Why isnt it bad? Tell me! Cuz graffiti is drawing put out in the world and its not like his graffiti is suppirting the nazis or anything... Graffiti is beautiful because its someone's emotion put in a tangible form... And if u think thats bad... How about you open your fucking eyes, this isnt 18th century where the stupidities of religion controlled people, its the 21st century

[sheep71292]

what banksy did was wrong no doubt about it but this whole beef thing is getting out of control both artists are fucking brilliant but now king robbo is a a coma i think the whole thing should be dropped and i reall do wish that king robbo will come out the coma and make a full recovery if any one ahas problem with this then to all those people i say grow up and look at the realality.

[FTKREW212]

BANKSY MORE LIKE WANKSY

[airsoftjunkie2]

[sw2brixton]

[Souron1994]

Alll you guys are fucken tards,

Banksy is wayy better than robbo

[Hopslikespud]

Team Ban-bo? My take on the 'war' is that both sides have equal blame. Of course Banksy shouldn't have gone over Robbo's piece and used it in his, but Robbo also shouldn't have badmouthed Banksy in a book that graffiti artists will be reading. Both graffiti writers are respectable people and should in my opinion resolve the issue if Robbo recovers rather than go on fighting like children. Writers should work together for Christ's sake...

[rockguitar2012]

TEAM ROBBO!

[DustysPhotoshop]

Omg what is this Team Robbo bullshit. 'Robbo' and his wee buddies are just in for a piece of fame from Banksy in a 'graffiti war' brought on by pure jealousy.

[benbo62]

@DustysPhotoshop Team Robbo were around before banksy... and banksy started the war by taking out Robbos stuff.

Dont comment on stuff you know nothing about

[DustysPhotoshop]

@benbo62 Well yeah, but Banksy got more fame that Robbo. And Banksy didn't start a war. Robbo's stuff was still visable, he was practically framing Robbo's tag.

[samalot01]

TEAMROBBO! #jusayin

[b1nl4denmn]

[sonyfucker]

@SikoTheSkater its not fake it was in his own movie

[cymbalspecialist]

@rainarzufall TEAM ROBBO TEAM ROBBO TEAM ROBBO TEAM ROBBO



[br0ad456]

@rainarzufall banksy is in no way the king of graffiti

[Totalimmortal93]

@br0ad456 Maybe not,but the king of stencils,he is.

[br0ad456]

@Totalimmortal93 not at all.

[Totalimmortal93]

@br0ad456 I'm guessing you are then?Or you have someone else in mind?Cause,maybe someone makes better stencils,but you can't deny the worldwide influence of Banksy and his art and style,that,to me,makes him absolute king of stencils.

[topbluffa1]

@Totalimmortal93

nah blek la rat is.

[dav1disradical]

@rainarzufall not a king at all. just a sellout for the public. fuck banksy. fuck exit through the gift shop.

[t181992]

@dav1disradical how the fuck is he a sell out...you make art for people....he just happens to be an interest of most art fans. he wins

[dav1disradical]

@t181992 street art is NOT meant to be mass marketed, that's how he's a sell out. the whole point of street art is to be an underground movement that not many people know about, banksy sold out by marketing his shit with urban outfitters and making a movie. there are literally hundreds of artists out there that are better than banksy, but nobody really cares because they don't take the time to actually look for it. none of these people feel the need to mass market their stuff though.

[dav1disradical]

@t181992 secondly, he copies all of his shit from blek le rat, the first stencil artist in paris. it's pretty fucking weak, in the street art world, imitation is not a form of flattery, and in most places it gets your ass handed to you. but i doubt half these people know anything about that because they don't know shit about street art or have any real appreciation for it.

[t181992]

@dav1disradical word, totally understand where your coming from....BUT, he is what he is, i think he deserves it.....i know about Blek Le Rat and its hard not to see the comparison, but i'm sure banksy has never actually copied any of his work other than the rats. you have to admit banksy pulls it off pretty damn good.  its easy to spot a fake, banksy is not....he has the same style but different messages

[topbluffa1]

@rainarzufall

Blek is the king.

[sweetypie000]

total setup. total sellout

[dernwkosmo]

monkeyism through comments and uploads,newspapers and tv's.

[AnObsoleteMan]

i dunno if the Sundays Times actually filmed this, this footage was in a movie that Bansky was in and also edited called Exit Through The Gift Shop

[HumanWarrior0]

@AnObsoleteMan No that part wasnt in it... He uses stencils and yeah he didnt sum stuff on roofs and buildings and yeah but i didnt see him do any monkey stuff only a rat with paint brush... and i would know ive seen it like 7 times its a great movie check it out on Netflix guys

[Surpsik]

@AnObsoleteMan i dont remember this being in exit through the gift shop ?

[PachaTheGreat]

@AnObsoleteMan that wasn't on there, they guy who filmed never got banksy doing this hit.

[folklorette]

awwwwww yeah

[rainarzufall]

yeah

[RedeboProductions]
