Hi all, I haven't been on the Banksy Forum for quite a few month's now, so apologies if this is old news or a fake - but a colleague of mine just forwarded me this picture from Lewisham. What do you reckon? Possible Banksy?  |

The face looks a bit like his caveman in L.A.  |

The face looks like his caveman in L.A. At least no one will be lifting that street piece. How much are steam rollers going for these days?  |

Very clever. Do you think that's driving around on site somewhere out there?

I would guess if its being used for tarmacking is gonna come straight off when it comes into contact with hot tar  |

Do you think Banksy's got his own steam roller? How cool would that be?

No doubting that the face is VERY Banksy'esque.

Damn it, think that other thread was locked before I could say "Roller Warden" sounds like something Hutch would do  |

I dont get why Mr B doent tag his work anymore, I know it keeps it anonymous but would be good to see the old BANKSY on it too?

Why isn't this on the main board, this is after all a Banksy forum.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say there is no way that is one of Banksy's. There is nothing clever in this image, sea side postcard humour at best.
Sorry, the subject matter does not look sophisticated enough. More Hutch than Banksy IMO. The hands are cr*p mind...

i'd be disappointed if banksy did that.
good placement, but poor detail on the hands and hat.
and a VERY soft target. It's hardly world poverty is it.

Having the notepad and pen in the same hand was a bit of an oversight. Surely, any self-respecting traffic warden would have pen in one hand and pad in the other...

Why isn't this on the main board, this is after all a Banksy forum. Some people dont like all the talk of Print releases and Gallery shows on the other board, so idealy this board should be the home of all Street & Graffiti chat. Im trying to help keep people happy by doing this I know it might be changing a few habits of people who only look at the other board, but they are missing out if they dont look around a bit at some of the other sections available on the forum. Thanks |
