Banksy | Street cleaners prepare to blast Bansky away

[kazzaflaz]

EVEN YOUNG TAGGERS ARE DEFACING BANKSY'S WORK IN LONDON L'POOL AND BIRMINHAM AND OTHER CITIES.KEEP IT UP, TRUE TAGGERS

[UPANDCOMINGGSI]

@kazzaflaz tagging is bullshit, banksy is an artist, with all his works of art having a meaning, tagging is just simple messy way of gettin your name seen, but just looks shit to be fair, it aint art

[UPANDCOMINGGSI]

@kazzaflaz you obviously saw the 'Graffiti Wars' programme on channel 4. that dont make u clued up on graffiti so stop talkin like u know the lot, the proppaganda clearly worked well on you

[kazzaflaz]

What is your point,so what le blec likes banksy's stencils.I like led zepps communication breakdown but prefer wolfmothers version.There are many preferences on many different topicsI dont know what your comment adds to the topic.PUT YOUR HEAD ON, WANKER

[kazzaflaz]

Its all graffiti banksy is a copy rat.Its also done with stencils.Its graffiti, under the name of street art and should be removed. Otherwise any tom dick and harry will be tagging everywhere under the name of street art but what wanksy done ( with stencils ) to team ? Robbo's work under the bridge at regents canal, was a twats trick.

[kazzaflaz]

Well done hackney council. Banksy is a rip off artist from a french guy. He ripped off the rat because he is a rat himself. You draw over originals banksy, example robbo's work under the bridge on regents canal thats a no no and you know it and knew it was a original of robbo's work. DEFACE BANKSY'S WORK. TEAM ROBBO

[GroupGraffiti]

@kazzaflaz 'That French Guy' is Blek Le Rat. And Blek has said more than once that he loves banksys stuff.

[nahuati13]

@kazzaflaz we live in world "rip off" deal with it.

[kickflip360eifion]

there's no point in trying to get ride of it coz thay wont!

[SuperSickened]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

[HimeofManga]

The angle with the skull is actually not by Banksy, it's by a person called Ozone. He painted over Banksy's original Pulp Fiction of two guys holding guns and wearing banana suits. He died with another artist in a train accident. The work is called "Ozone's Angel"

I don't think that they should remove Banksy's or Ozone's work. It's an insult to both artists and they literraly put their lives on the line for it, Ozone died because he wanted to put art on the streets!!

[ArtIsGood4TheSoul]

@HimeofManga I'm pretty sure it's by Banksy as a tribute to Ozone after he died.

[FuzzBucket1000]

You can't fucking do that to a banksy, its art work not a tag!

[ajuk1]

And to think this is a Labour council, WTF?

[ajuk1]

Can the owner sue the council; for the loss of value on the building.

[f0XxXxXxX]

I think they have to learn the differences between good and bad art, simple as that.

[coathangermidwife]

banksy and old skool legend stylo at 1.00

[darkal13]

Bansky watches videos like this

[jackaay]

Is there a place for Urban Art in east London? do you think that the Local Authorities are fighting a losing battle? Should they embrace the art that attracts people to the area? Or is it just vandalism!

[artregeous]

who owns bank of england jesuits offsprings like banksy lol

[dove997]

lett me remaind that nice woman that porhops street art, is also to open your mind and window of perspective between reality, and banksters reality.... peace to jesus :D

[tirmazi27]

Banksy is fucking awsome!!!! They suck!!!!!!

[anklebreaka03]

U spelt banksy twice differently in your title....just letting u know

[400adidas]

fuck them nigas!!

[bobbygnosis]

If they did take down his art its their loss. I would've gone and spent my money there. Now I won't. They lose.

[yandiggles]

yeh, people like looking at grey walls more than colourful beatiful ones, dont they?

it's all part of the plan people, keep us in a grey, bleak, zombified world.

[LudaMusser]

If the council allow Banksy`s work to stay up its sending out the message that all graf is allowed so they can`t make any exceptions. It`s shit I know as I love B`s stuff but I can see where their coming from. It`s best for him to put his work in hard to get places

[invadercheeze]

@LudaMusser I say let all graffiti be allowed. Make it a social experiment: if everyone is allowed to paint on the walls, what will it create? Will it create ugliness, with tags and penises everywhere? Will it create artistic wonders, like the street art that Banksy and Shepard Fairey do? Or, will writing on walls lose its rebellious nature, yielding clean, boring brick?

[SuperBandstand]

dont you just love it when they havent got a clue........

[ivanovsd]

the problem is that they make u stop and think,and oh boy they dont want us thinking,just work work work buy buy buy aaand then u r allowed to die,and this is in the developed countries,no art 4 us just news of killings and swine flu,great times great times

[WalkingDoodle]

How can they view banksy on the same level as tags?

Banksy is art, stop wasting your people's money destroying it.

[xxAPEKxxONExx]

@WalkingDoodle some tagz are actually pretty cool. most are shit tho

[WalkingDoodle]

@xxAPEKxxONExx Oh I know Sorry, I should have probably made myself more clear. Yeah, I mean the stereotypical ones that jump into your head first.

A tattoo shop near me has someone's tag on it, but it's done so artisically, you can tell someone actually put some effort into it. It's someone's tag, but it's also art. I hope it stays there.

[MRmagnatron]

Fuck the council banksy is just gonna do it again and his art is awesome not like other graffiti artists sum r cool though but all of banksys art is awesome

[fUCkyOUbL0WM3]

graffiti is for us,fuck all you bitches that dont do it we dont care what you think,and getting buffed is part of graffiti,cleaning it off just makes people want to do twice as much........fuck banksy and all the other art fags out there,they get robbed for there paint cause there to pussy to be on road after dark

[Jamesbentley47]

this Council people will go on and die as nameless nobodies but Banksy will always be remembered whether they remove his art or not, at least he's tying to be creative and not following mindless rules like these council people do.

Banksy: the man, the artist, the shadow.

[yoyoholck]

hes doing the world a favour, hes sending messages to the public telling them to wake up in the phony world we live in, if it wasnt for stupid government cameras this man would have changed the world by now

[BoysNoizeWIN]

hahah if they get rid of his works, he'll do it again...is the council that stupid??

[Keo77]

i think it's quite funny really because in all probability, Banksy will more than likely return to the same spot once the council white-wash his work off & produce another piece in its place which is a bit more tongue in cheek!

[westrat2]

any 1 can do it bu its only good wen banksy does it ;) lol

[TMNTxJerKS]

fix the second "Banksy" in the title aha.

[KevinL455]

bansky is the best!!!

[ImUnder18Really]

Banksy's art is beautiful. Modern society is shit. Should we wash away cave paintings as well?

[rarosera]

There is no way a council like Hackney can afford to have people grafitti on walls and NOT remove it... what if someone grafittied something that made people think? Oh, that won't do, not at all... We can't have people thinking now can we? What if everyone went about doing their own thinking? They might discover things that have taken a lot of effort to keep away from the mindless goyim.

[mroscarking12]

Banksy rocks!

[aleaz23]

who really cares anymore if they do or not it will all just became part of the landscape any way. An artist is only as good as his next piece of work.

[sweffe96]

Nice, this reaxtion is exactly what Banksy wants! :D

[aifammafiaaifam]

m.a.f.i.a

[tricksta066]

wankers

[GaGaDollx]

In a way they are making out that banksy's art is bad yet it is trying to send a message out that we need to sort out problems.

However the council thinks the only problem london has is graffitti. Instead of faffing around and moaning about banksy they should listen to his messages and deal with the real issues!

[Diordo11]

Doesn't look like they've got a 0 tolerance on graffiti.....

[318lyfe]

banksy inspires all graffiti writers

long live banksy

[reeltimefilm]

@318lyfe BANKSY ISNT A GRAFFITI ARTIST, HES A FUCKING STENCIL ARTIST, HIS "TAG", EVEN A STENCIL, you're a dumb fuck boy, His intentions were not to inspire graffiti artists to go out and write. he wants statement makers, social activists, people who will verbally and visually (art) change peoples thoughts, he wants thought provokers NOT graffiti writers. Writers are SHIT, ARTISTS are where its at. fuck man

[SlipAllCityToy]

@reeltimefilm

when someone says 'graffiti artist' it s´doesent mean a writer do you know what graffiti really means? its images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property so when ever a news man says graffiti he means the official definition..

[g739]

@reeltimefilm then why is there a page in his book about how to do stencils and how you can get famous in your town with a can of spray ?

[CEASONE77]

i agree with wrxeffect its all propaganda ...

[marianoh44]

..isnt that kinda the point of street art... your pushing an idea on people weather they like it or not at the price that it can be destroyed. thats what makes street art so much better than other types of art. banksy has a good messege in his work and people like it, but it shouldnt be a big deal if they cover it up.

if he could do whatever the hell he wanted anywhere just because his "banksy" then it would take away the meaning of his work it would be no different than painting it on a canvas

[wartownkidx]

it doesnt matter if they blast it away or not. one day, he will be in the history books no matter how hard you try to stop his art.

[Hunjie]

who cares

[Thewrxeffect]

While your at it, why don't you go burn all of Van Gogh's and Picasso's work?

The same way Van Gogh was poorly recieved in his time, graffiti artists are being prosecuted. Perhaps one day they will be truely recognized.

[reachforthelasers]

Most graffiti is shit; it's either vandalism, people copying Banksy or students drawing clouds.

[905752]

All street artist or graffiti artist whatever all deserve BIG RESPECT i love them all i love street and everyone have a different way to express him self this is one very good way !

[jamzskee]

that art critic speaks the truth. respect.

[goldheat111]

please also view EMO URBAN ART via yotube....

[atheistunicorn]

it's STREET ART, it belongs in the STREETS. if you wash it off, it will come back 10 fold.

[dee12094]

i love banksy. In the future i would wish to travel to England and see some of his work on the walls. But sadly if they wash it all off then my dream will be crushed.

[H4x04]

Yea, or if they sell it off :\

[retepvosnul]

This common vandals name is "Robin Gunningham". Arrest on sight.

[F9TehTrueLoveOfTru]

has to go???these people are imbeciles!!!!!!!

England should protect and preserve his work it's like history on the walls!!!!!stupid people maybe have'nt seen Czechoslovakia's Praha!!!the Czechs put their lives infront of war vehicles to protect the historical place

T_T i thought in the next 600 years England will have a place like Praha~~~~~~~~

[F9TehTrueLoveOfTru]

T_T people who appreciates Banksys works should make a human barricade and protect his works!!!!!

"graffiti?" can't these people be more idiots than my cousins' ex-bf?graffiti or what it's art it's expression it's the modern painting on the walls like historical Egypt etc. for the next generation.why they want to destroy it when they're supposed to preserve it?it should stay like it is where it is and how it is

T_T

[wedfghyd]

you fool.theres real graffiti artists (that dont use stencils)going to prison yet banksy gets treated like some sort of god.and why?because his art is trendy.

[Joeyv415]

Banksy isn't a graffiti artist, hes a street artist. He uses stencils, and his stencils become quite complex. Have you ever done a 15 layer stencil? Both graffiti and street art deserve respect.

[XxGaarasGirlxX]

Banksy is more of a Appropriation artist. He sends a message really... I mean if you look into his work more you find he's quite an interesting man. Search Banksy Disney land and Paris Hilton. He laughs at the public minority, and he inspires young graphic artists too, he's better than the graffitists who scribble and doodle on walls! He's not so different to Jamie Reid which defiled the queen of England for a album for the sex pistol. Which to is awesome! :D go search appropriation art! :))

[Kucuu]

I love drawing as Banksy, if you have any time you pass by Barcelona, we are approaching a moment to Girona, and we adorn one wall.

If it is not too much to ask :P

*Catalonia is not spain*

[charlesmcateer]

I love Banksy don't get me wrong, but if the council were to suddenly accept his work and leave it there surely it would dampen the signifgance of what he is doing. For those who would captalise on his work by stealing it; can't blame you its human nature but that also destroys the point

In short I beleive; Banksy is making profound social commentry on the 21st centuary, a lot centering around the beurcratic formailty of the streets and doing this he is using the most relevant canvas the streets

[DJKeeganimal]

I Agree.Without The Political Or Public Resentment Towards His Art,Yes ART,It Would Most Likely Dampen The Power Or Significance Of His Work.The Same Goes For Taking His Art From The Street To Canvas,It Somehow Is Taken Of It's Image Or Meaning.

[bandito2000]

yea banksy was an early influence on me too but come on. His work should be buffed why should he be treated any different?

[alhmjr]

Banksy inspires my work, and i dont know how anybody could want to call his amazing work 'vandalism'

[stedav]

Hackney are corrupt, uncultured and backward, they will never never learn

[squeekme]

totally. any council that is willing to destroy valuable, iconic works of art has something wrong with them.

[thedirtys2006]

@squeekme law is created by people in an office who debate all day. after awhile somethings like the people's opinions are never heard and granted. fuck politics, the government n the fools buying up this crap.

[xDAGRxKiLLLDU11]

@squeekme their trying to blast him out of art history this guy does what he loves its art not vandalism

[BobbySignal]

Wow, very interesting. Banksy was an early inspiration of mine.

[squeekme]

crazy!! the council has artworks that are literally worth thousands of dollars, and bring in tourists, and theyr gonna remove them!! if i lived there id go and take down the walls and pay for the damages!!

but at least it gets him in the news again..
