looks like its real, although someone might have just ripped off the image, but its looking good, would make a cool print

could see this image working in many locations , covering buildings with his roler then off into the night , You say that, but the circle on the building looks like the sun setting so it could be more site specific... I bet by the time ive wrote this someone will say it would make a great print ! |

the face looks dodgy from this pic, and i'd be surprised to see a t shirt image now become a street piece, but the horse looks fantastic and the idea is great

Will it get painted over or will London Transport realize they might have a tourist attraction on their hands? Come and see the Banksy only visible from our train ;D Special Banksy express! |

Very large and detailed but could also be eelus he loves moons and I think that the round piece of wood behind the rider is a moon right? But top quality from the picture certainly could be Mr. B.

Does look very Banksy esk looking at the larger photo esp the roller. Nick walker could pull it off as well but no tag.

Looking at it a bit more it looks like its up on top of a felt flat roof.

Not convinced it is Banksy, but there's two things that could lead you to that conclusion... his original roller zorro image and the pink colour the roller's using. Isn't that the same colour as the cans poster and banners outside the Bristol exhibition? I must get out |

my first impression was eelus too, but now I've seen that enlarged picture I'm not su sure.. the way the shadow is done in this piece doesnt looks like Eelus to me..But I dont think it is a banksy either.. the legs of the horse look slightly off, and Banksy doesnt make mistakes like that IMO..
come on, hit me!

I think it could well be a Banksy. Very few artists who could do it on that scale....

You can see that from the A40... I always thought it was a great spot. Could be Banksy but surely he would have released a better image than that?

Just before the Great Western road crosses under the Westway I think... There is like 2 or 3 of those towers.
