For me it looks like Banksy has been playing with a fire extinguisher
filled with paint again. At least that would explain why the heart
looks so s**t. the writing seems to be done with a paint brush.

Look at the pics already posted Retard. They're all there. i just spit out some coffee and scone (it's early in the morning over here) as i was taken back as that didn't seem like something Roman would say. Once i realized the username, the folks outside my office asked "what's so funny?" |

Just having a clear out at work. We worked with Westbourne Studios many years ago. Their brochure/literature is really interesting....including the fact that they held the launch party for Blur's Think Tank album there.
I'm assuming that Banksy had his London studio here at some point?

Yes. Someone mentioned just the other day thay Banksy had a studio under the Westway.
On the thread about the wierd studio with Eine "HQ" on it I think.

I sent the original shot to Silky. A friend of mine took the shot who has a studio nearby.
I'm not Banksy, and neither is my friend. Sorry everyone. I had my doubts at first because the image was low res, asked silky if he knew about it but he didn't. Thought it would be more fun for Silky to post it. Anyway, having seen further pics from other forum members, I, like many others, am convinced it's by him.

Banksy himself, or not, someone wanted this to be noticed. Makes you wonder how long it's been there..? |

If it's not Mr B someone's gone to an awful lot of trouble to make it look like it should be.

Deffo looks like Turpin. Think he took the original idea a step further for the location.

Once i realized the username, the folks outside my office asked "what's so funny?" Ha ha!!! I'm with you on that lee: I had to read it twice cos I didn't believe it first time. Quality post and comedic precision from romanywyg. Cheered me right up after a s**tty day. ;D |

Not sure if its been mentioned before, but I think it looks a bit like d**k Turpin It has, by muti and myself, go back a page.  muti is right. It's not Zorro anymore, look at the hat and scarf, it's D ick Turpin, the highwayman, with perfect placement!  Romanywg's photo. |
