The best place to see his work is in Bristol, we're very proud of him. Were you on his site or a general art one. ? Sorry I don't know much about his London works

I was going to write something very rude Blush

Ive had a crap day & made myself laugh. Sorry.

I hope he is a hottie

I am very very intrigued by him though.

spit it out fly!

i've fallen down a bit of a google rabbit hole....looking up unusual places to visit in London and came across the Leake Street tunnel which fascinates me.....ended up looking at Banksy. on a website with his work on and cross referencing now on google street view

Not London, but this appeared in Edinburgh a few days ago. I'd heard the rumours he was a member of Massive Attack, no idea if it's true!

Did you see the auction? The highest bidder had the artwork shredded in front of their eyes.

I imagine him to be around 40-45. I reckon he has tattoos, a bit of a skateboardy type, wears a beanie hat.

He is probably the opposite.

Do you think he has an actual day time job, like Superman?

P.S

BANKSY....whats left to see?

I couldnt possibly say.

His willy

SquiddyMcSquidford · 03/02/2019 19:27

It's thought his real name MIGHT be Robin Gunningham. I wonder if he does all the art himself or if he's actually a team of people/the leader of a team of people (there is speculation he has links with/is a member of Massive Attack). What I find most intriguing is that AFAIK no-one ever sees him making the art. I know he does it at night, but still.

There’s a great big one as you drive into Dover.

Have you seen Exit Through the Gift Shop? ‘‘Tis fab.

CameliaCamelia · 03/02/2019 19:49

no not seen that!

most of his art has been either painted over or auctioned....one extreme or the other

CameliaCamelia · 06/02/2019 00:09

Wonder who he is and what his circumstances are. Very intriguing

Why is everyone so sure Banksy is male?

moredoll · 06/02/2019 01:16

'Falling Shopper' on the side of a building in Brunton Lane W1 might still be there? Too high up to get at.

Tetrapanex · 06/02/2019 01:23

I personally like the theory that Banksy is in fact Art Attack's Neil Buchanan

Milicentbystander72 · 06/02/2019 01:28

I'm from Bristol.

A good friend of mine is a 50 yr 'children of the can' (it's an old book about the 80's/early 90's graffiti scene from which Banksy emerged, He absolutely knows who Banksy is. He's never told me though. The only thing he told me (when he was a bit pissed) was that Banksy actually appears on camera in Exit Through the Gift Shop as a customer or something (I wasn't listening too well and hadn't seen the film then).

He does the major artworks himself. However when he did something Banksy versus The Museum overnight in Bristol about 10 years ago and the Dismaland at WSM he has a team of helpers/installers. I know because my ash's friend is one. He got in ahead of trouble for telling people that he was doing it!

Milicentbystander72 · 06/02/2019 01:29

Ash = dh

Bedheadretention · 06/02/2019 01:30

@Tetra it can't be Neil Buchanan.......he used to do his large art attacks with saltGrin

CameliaCamelia · 06/02/2019 08:44

Yes, lots of people have alluded to knowing who Banks is over the years.....all claim it's a Male

@Tetrapanex 😂😂 now that would be brilliant

HPLikecraft · 06/02/2019 10:05

Oh I’d love it to be Neil Buchanan!

I wish I’d been able to visit Dismaland, looked fab.
