random thought iv just had..these kids hes stenciled… they dont look very modern n applicable to everyday life. is tht on purpose? i dont think we`ve seen any little girls looking like tht since the 60`s surely? im sure it probably to give tht sort of poster look to his work but does anyone think it might be more applicable if the kids were just regular kids we see running around london swearing at adults eating mc donalds lol.. just a thought.

I think now Banksy has become as big as he is, his work is starting to lose meaning. having the walls ripped down and sold for thousands goes against everything his graffiti was about in the first place. I love it just as much as the next person but I wish everyone would stop goin on about it. I work in Shoredich and one of his murals has been covered up to protect it so I can’t even enjoy it for what it is anymore!

I love his work. I find it really speaks about modern urban life…

I think Banksy is totally overrated and the fuss created around him and his work is just your typical capitalist art craze. The ironic branding theme is very apt. I also really hate what has been done to the graffiti. First someone covered it with Perspex and then probably thought that this would be a bit naff. So instead they have covered it now in clear lacquer, which gives the wall that lovely treacly discolouration and sheen. Very street!
