Banksy C/D

I wanted to learn more about Northern Ireland politics so I followed a bunch NI MPs on twitter. it's pretty interesting! here's UUP MP for South Antrim Danny Kinahan meeting some furries, for example:

"Give me a bubble letter and put it on a T-shirt and write 'Banksy' on it and we’re sorted. We can sell it now. No disrespect to Robert," the drum & bass DJ said in a podcast, seemingly confirming past rumours that the anonymous artist is indeed Del Naja.

Banksy 'named as Robert' as musician Goldie lets slip in interview

lol

btw this is false, I am banky

I am Banksy!

it's true, there are no other people called Robert from Bristol

mostly unrelatedly I was in an Airbnb room last year and there was a sub-Banksy "street art"-style painting in the corner which I was looking at, and the owner said "oh my son painted that" and I was just about to say something like "o cool A-Level Art project yeah" when she said that he was kind of a big deal and in with Saatchi etc and I felt v ignorant and out of sync with the world

Be glad imo

xp
I think "bad A-Level Art project" would be a fair assessment of Banksy's entire oeuvre so your assessment was probably spot on tbh.

you should have asked if her son was banky

Or if he was Vilma.

hmmm

another good reason to cancel the TV license debit and fuck the consequences.

it will certainly MAKE YOU THINK

make you think "I shouldn't have watched this"

Accepting this unorthodox request from a man he has never met, Danny admits the closest he has ever been to the Middle East is a fortnight in Majorca.

lol what the hell is this shit.

"Danny admits that the closest he has been to a film camera is looking at a zooetrope toy he had as a small child"

He tends to overplay his humble bloke from Bury image somewhat.

This combination of two complete hacks is going to be irresistible, luv the BBC in challenging the orthodoxy mode - so fucking out there.

kinda curious how Slumdog Millionaire got made now

anyway, might find my nearest fundie Christian group to help parcel bomb the Beeb over this

BANKY's BACK BANKY'S BACK BANKY's BACK

If anyone could convert me to Christianity it would be Banksy, he has already turned me into a fervent supporter of capitalism.

he has warmed me to the lighter side of pressure washers

Whoever thought doing community service could be so rewarding!

lol @ "alternativity"

did he steal that from some late 90s Youth Group textbook?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-42841320

we have our own Banky now, i keep trying to be polite while my local friends get all excitable about it

arrest him!

there's a Tory local councillor who wants it cleaned off and i must admit i'm torn

No photos of him pointing at it yet?

Do you want to have the good, even if it's done for all the wrong reasons? That's a nut to crack.

xp lol

i really fucking love that bridge and all, he has cacked his lol art over my precious memories

have London sold those Boris Water Cannons yet? They could be repurposed to clean up that shite.

Get yr brush out imo and sort it before you get the 'proud tory celebrates succesfully getting rid of banksy' pointing photos

could probably do a big nob coming out of the kid's trousers

Banksy theft in Toronto.

a Banky cannot be thefted, only liberated

Surveillance video is hilarious. And probably Banksy.

Yeah, it's got a classic Spy Vs. Spy thief tip-toeing away feel when he comes back into frame with the picture and exits.

"ultimate prank" my fucking arse, seriously, how easily impressed are some people? P Manzoni + the K Foundation are spinning in their graves rn!

that’s nickn told

if you say so, but I was more responding to comments elsewhere - but talking to myself.

Surely the auction house were in on it? I assume pieces are checked before auction and they would spot a shredder in the frame.

he's so insipid and worthless and overexposed, the arsehole makes want to love capitalism. Yeah I wouldn't imagine an auction house would be risking pissing off or getting into litigation with the type of customer who can write a million quid cheque.

If anything, this stunt proves, for the nth time, that capitalism sublates any and all artistic resistance, especially when it's social-mediatised. Said work is now worth more $$$ than ever.

I guess it's worth more rather than less now, so the buyer is probably very happy about it all and capitalism triumphs.

Or, what pomenitul says, though I'm not sure about how much of an act of artistic resistance this really is.

don't really associate "artistic" with Banky tbh

Eh, denying him the label is just wishful thinking. No true Scotsman, etc.

as a technical descriptor of the field in which he works, ok. but really i was just saying his entire oeuvre is fucking shit.
