 My Christmas gift to you and to the parrishart Museum. The face of Banksy. That is right, This is really him. It has been confirmed and is on the record by a number of his associates and collaborators. Please don’t think I have painted his portrait to undermine him and his anonymity, but rather to celebrate Rob and the impact he has had in the world and his influence on my art. Merry Christmas Banksy and forum members. I hope you like it! (I am donating this work to my hometown museum, the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton NY, USA . I haven’t had my work on their walls since ‘88!) Please Share

Finally...been waiting for these news. Now I can relax again. Always thought that banksy is Tupac?! This is too much here

[Deleted]

That’s not banksy! It’s my dad!

[moron]

Excellant painting. It's as urban Bankyified as one can get. That portrait image photo of Banksy if that is indeed him has been online for quite a few years now and also someone put it on a postage stamp type print a few years ago.

Now with the Met police and probably other ones in other cities and countries installing the latest facial recognition spy cameras in public places and airports and points of entry etc could be that Big Brother is watching Banksy?

our great friend Mister Aich made the stamps ( not the only awesome ones ) of this portrait in Jamaica.
I have the prints. I miss Mister Aich. ;(

I wonder anyway who made the stamps of the B. Show Weapons of Mass distraction ?

Anyway we have to encourage artists if they stay humble ..

Some of my favourites on my walls are MisterAitch's stamps of joy! The riot stamps and his antifa grandfather are the top hitters.

I just know that he left social media etc ... and artworks. I hope he is ok ... Well, I can tell more. An awesome person, very creative and with humour, a gentleman too : you ordered him one artwork and he sent you multiples gifts or stamps with .. Cracking dude !

It's very easy to verify banksy through associates and collaborators. The hard part is confirming who these associates and collaborators really are. You're not undermining anyone's anonymity but your own.  Wish you the best in the new year.

Also, 3D is banksy I hope he learns to draw feet one of these days.

Thank you for the kind note. I appreciate it. Actually, I have rather enjoyed all of the comments here, even from the childish schoolboys and their Freudian predilection to masterbatory references. Most likely they are virgins who have difficulty speaking to women or maybe I just don’t know what their problem is, but I’m guessing it’s hard to pronounce. I find it all amusing.
With that in mind, yes, I can assure you the government knows exactly who Rob is and what he looks like. They can track you from a mile away through surveillance and tracking of electronics and the amount of cameras that are all around. They can hack into your laptops or cellphones and then look through the camera and hear through the microphone remotely. I was in the military, in communications. One fun game we did when I was in training in California on base when there was down time was to adjust spectrometers that pick up radio waves to the frequency range of cell phones, (they are really just high freq radios) and then listen in on conversations. It’s really easy if you have the right equipment and know what you are doing.. So believe you me, they know who he is, and what he looks like, and know where he has been and when he was there.
I can assure forum members though he is not 3D. He is not a group of artists (but Rob does have a group of co-conspirators who act as assistants). He is not Del Naja (but they are good mates) and there is a small circle of artists and friends who know who he is and have worked with him often. The work in LA and during his summer residency in New York City would not have been possible without their assistance..
I think Americans or people here in the States are not as protective as in GB. Thus my ability to have confirmation, and even have it compared to recent, personal photos that have not been censored or released to the general public. Hell Terry has hours and hours of uncensored and unedited recordings of him from way back when...no one can be that naive to think nothing has found its way out..
.
So with that said, there are many associates, current and former, who have corroborated my portrait in the US. Some are very well known artists. They joke about his ever farther receding hairline, Ben Franklin eyeglasses and hooked nose...got to love the earring too, although he has been seen without it recently.

Thank you. He will be remembered as the Picasso of our generation. And I am so happy to have followed it before it became “Cause célèbre”.

Toodles,

YANK!!

As I said...amusing as it is immature. And blindingly eloquent.
Just please, don’t home school your children...better yet, please don’t procreate, you will save the taxpayers large sums of money..

Thanks

Listening into peoples phone calls for fun & watching them through their computer screens!...we have a four letter word beginning with C for people like you here and it ain't COOL.   You really freak me out, go away.
You're a creep & a weirdo.

[jimbofatz]

OK so you're in the military for communication revealing confidential information regarding a criminal (banksys) identity and the illegal methods that were used to confirm this identity on an internet message board?....

Hello Mr. Trump is that you???

Given that this is pretty much a copy of Mister Aitch's image of Banksy, which is based on an alleged photo of Banksy that is already widely available, why are you claiming you are revealing something no one has ever seen before?
