Hello, just stumbled upon this forum today.
Few weeks ago i saw what i thought was a banksy tag and I've been wondering about it since.
I saw the last few letters of Banksy on some railings on the roundabout by ikea, and the slip roads going up to the m32. Its directly infront Of you when you turn off the m32 towards the cityb centre.
Anyone else seen this or was my mind playing tricks on me?
Thanks

Yes Eli, seen it quite a few times in passing, great concept and really hard to execute too,
great piece.

[eli]

Yeh thats the one! Only got a glimps of it as i drove passed/tried not to crazy while looking at it!
I see its been there for a while, and not even a real one.
Will have to keep looking!

I remember a few years back a paddington bear one maybe? And i thought i saw one up by the zoo with a lion escaping from a bar code?

Hi and welcome.

Pretty sure the Paddington Bear (immigration is not a crime?) wasn't Banksy. There was one on Christmas steps for some time. The barcode however does sound like his work.

[jonti]

The bear could have been "mild, mild west"?

[eli]

Yes! By Christmas steps! Oh its a shame it wasn't banksy.
Nah wasn't mild mild west, i live by that one.
Yeh i saw the barcode one 6 yrs ago when id just moved to bristol and was lost, and I've never been able to find it since.

Welcome to the forum.

I wish I was told to cut up my credit cards when I joined the forum.  

The for sale thread can be a dangerous place for your wallet.

The Pembroke Rd one has gone due to a house extension engulfing the original wall.

There's still a few still around though (St. Andrews Road etc).

I'll try locate some pics of what was still there last year :-)
