Awesome love this shit as was a graffiti artist as a child and still am just don't destroy walls or bridges anymore but no way was I as talented as Bansky but i would be happy with 1/4 of those sales .....

That was way cool I saw the video. Couldn't believe someone haggled him down to half price. All they have to do is contact his agent and they will verify the art, send a certificate of authenticity and those people are going to be rich.

I love Banksy. He makes the world a better place

Right On soserthc 1... I don't know if many people here will even Realize "What This Is" and the Gift that was given to the people in New York that bought those Signed Canvases... They could literally be worth More than the Home they'll be Hangin" In ;)

I dont know if you realize or not... The guy in the Vid Isn't Bansky... He (Bansky) Is A Ghost Artist. Don't think it was About the Money, You see the way the Guy thanks the People for Purchases, They don't Know they are buying "Signed Bansky" He Knows they are Getting The Gift of A Life Time is the way it Looks to me ;) Beyond "Fuckin Cool" Bro!

Yea I know it looked like banksy's grandpa or something.

Plus it's a slap to the face of art collectors selling his work for big bucks..which is hilarious.

Fuckin' Awesome Guys... Glad You All Enjoy this as Much as I Do... ;)

Maybe More Examples of His Work will show up and More People can Appreciate What they are Yet to Know...

Sweet thread, great art.

I bet NYC sees some killer pieces..we get some good ones round here sometimes..I saw one in the hood and I actually recognized the artist...actually a she...it's bad-ass. I need to shoot it before something happens to it. Which reminds me we should start an official graffit street art thread. I've been diggin those buddhas showing up out west..there's good ones everywhere if ya look hard enough...even if they don't last very long.

Ahhh bro, you would be dazzled if you seen some of the work in brooklyn or the BX. Sessions where 6 people with ladders lay it down on walls the size of half a football field so nice that is looks like a computer image...and people respect it not X it out, some work has been up for 20 years....
