Makes me laugh how easy it is nowadays to slag off Banksy.
It's like the current trend.
I'm wondering how many of those people actually used to like him in the early days.
Maybe even have one of his books at home.
It might be an ancient art but so what. Blek Le Rat got left behind.
Banksy's art caused a stir and hit home to a lot of people. He does a good job in that field.
And fair play to him, he's done some risky things and got it out there.
So what if he's a middle-class public school boy?
So are some of the best musicians in the world.
Not all of it is great, and it's clearly coming unstuck, but it wouldn't surprise me if this whole Daily Mail thing is set up. They probably hate him anyway...
Remember the 'piss take' Daily Mail tees they used to sell in his early exhibits?
I'm not the biggest fan...but in my eyes, Banksy has added something interesting to the drab streets and had the balls to keep pushing things.
