latest news, he's in ny.


he's even got his own pet shop opened until October 31st so if you happen to be in NY.... it's opened everyday from 10am to midnight.
"New Yorkers don't care about art, they care about pets. So I'm exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art."

chicken nuggets


animatronic


hot dogs?


i don't even know anymore

Banksy's got mad talent. I read about him on "The Art of Rebellion 2: World of Urban Art" as well. Fucking amazing, he is.

yeah his stuff is good.


i read that a bunch of his pieces in new orleans are being covered up. smh

really like it.

i had to do a research on him in art class, i loved it. he's really talented and innovative.

very interesting. I would love to see his art up close. I especially like the elephant picture.

LOL, wow. That's a little creepy.

It's his unexpectedness that really grabs the audience, I think.

OMG I love it.

it's way better than i thought. i thought i was just buying a book with pictures of his work. which would still be good btw. but i didn't expect it to have all the text and insight that it does.

^ yeah, me too. i really love reading the little stories, proverbs, quotes, etc.

One of my favorite artists, for sure.
