[lukas01]

Many still wonder who is Banksy?
The answer is right under their noses.
Just look at the image attached to this thread to understand who Banksy is.

Banksy is Santa Claus.

I don't think anyone knows Banksy's identity. Otherwise, Banksy would spend entire days being invited to restaurants or on holiday, and would not be able to dedicate himself to street art.

The only certain thing about Banksy is that he uses a spray can. 😎
Everything else is not true.

I suspect Banksy doesn't even know who he is some days.

This could also be true. In fact, I believe that in many moments Banksy feels like Santa Claus, in many others Superman or Batman.
Maybe he has some superpower but is allergic to something. 😎

I don't think it's that complicated, the secret is just well kept by some but a lot of people know the identity of Banksy

on our scale of course it's much more complicated but so many people like graffiti artists or others have evolved with it...
what is strong is that the secret is so well kept and that no one has revealed it yet

...groan more like, as this thread has been kept going for over sixteen years !!! 👀

We all know who he is. Scroll back far enough and you’ll see photos of him having lunch with selected members of this forum on Easter Sunday 2014. We shared laughter and fed each other crème eggs. He bites the tip off and lets his pet rat lick out the rest.

Well one thing is certain and that is that during all those years the works of Banksy rather vary in style and that is not due to any of his stenciling skills developing. Then there’s the many people who’ve been involved from king Adz to feekertron and pins, the owners of galleries, of whom some were biting the hand that fed them, auctioneers, flippers and people that made their own name by using his name. But most of all there’s the man who wants to keep control and for whom the end justifies the means. You just gotta hope he’s less of a thug then he claims to be and he’s not using his money for right wing politics nor for the wokies 💩

I was reading somewhere he used to roll his own ciggies, had a sharp sense of humour but most of all he was patronised by the lot on this forum. Which matches completely with my idea of him when I met him while POW was making the moneys.
I heard he’ll be doing an interview soon in London, Dubai, Hongkong and Turin and expose his “fathers” as the bane of his life 👍

Funny you should say that; I've also felt at times that a certain amount of patronising is still going on even now. 😎

[sad about his dad; perhaps that's what's spurred him on, to make him proud - every cloud!]

Yes about the patronising I realised that too. Funny you should say that. I guess this happens when you hide in plain side 🫣😅

RANDOM POST ALERT ! 

every year when I was a kid we went to wales to visit family, they have a large garden with a river running all the way around it. We used to have an annual boat race competition utilising crap from the kitchen cupboards such as raspberry punnets and milk bottles to create miniature boats. There was only about 12 in the race and this year is their 60th wedding anniversary so they have invited over 50 friends and family for the weekend and one of the events is the old school boat race. I’ve used my imagination with this one using spray cans and a mask to create “banksys super yacht delux supreme pro”  (hot tub inclusive) 

enjoy

You didn’t have this one? Don’t think it’s him though, too many people involved anyway 🤷🏼‍♂️

Looks great fun and the most beautiful boat made from scrap I've ever come across - you should auction it off afterwards for a bit of extra to give to the anniversary couple ! Hope it will be a great success in the race !!! 😄

I wonder where Banksy lives now? I mean it must be difficult for him and his family to keep his identity hidden if he's living in the UK, so could he be in America maybe? Or another country that nobody would suspect? I guess it would need to be pretty remote.

[7star]

He still lives in the UK ......... don't know if he still owns Mobys place in Hollywood Hills, if rumours are to be believed
