Banksy Tree Mural • North London, by Dungle on Mar 17, 2024 22:28:51 GMT 1, It probably has an angle against the council and their continual chopping down of trees.
The paint is identical in colour to the Islington Council Green too

The paint is identical in colour to the Islington Council Green too Could it be all, the council cutting down trees, st patricks day, deforestation of the amazon, and then having a picture that bonds it all together? |

Great idea, It's a yes from me.

'Mr. B' - message received loud & clear:
If we're not careful, soon these are the only 'green' trees we'll be seeing - stunted & haemorrhaging tears..

Banksy Tree Mural • North London, by PC Baby on Mar 18, 2024 2:47:24 GMT 1,  Is it? Isn't it? That's the question. No confirmation yet, but to me it seems like the real deal. The figure has no feet, which we know Banksy likes to do, usually opting to fade them out towards the bottom. Banksy also has used similar methods in the past, like that 'Boring' he sprayed onto that brutalist building using a fire extinguisher in 2008. He's also used a pressure hose before on the tube during lockdown.

Banksy Tree Mural • North London, by Lroy on Mar 18, 2024 8:58:04 GMT 1, This is not to say the opposite or at least to disappoint you, it's just my opinion, like everyone else here: the work is superb of course (location, idea etc.) but I have doubt on the origin, per example, the milky green "used, a little pastel that we do not find in the works of Banksy (Ludo rather)...
Above all I remember, the IA - six months ago, and that Banksy does not has never claimed, with an unfinished side and elaborate details. We are a long way away, for example, from the works unveiled in Ukraine.
But who knows ;-) ...
I like this "painting", but I have a doubt, not sure that it is by Banksy. What does it matter!

Banksy Tree Mural • North London, by lukas01 on Mar 18, 2024 11:06:44 GMT 1, Finally the official confirmation from Banksy's Pest Control with a "Maybe one day it will be spring?". Original and very interesting work. I agree and like the choice to release a screenprint in an edition of 50 with a lottery.
Only £10 for a screen print on wall size paper is fabulous!
The proceeds will go to an environmental association "Twin Peaks", which deals with the environment and natural deodorants for the home. Fingers crossed! 👍
*The request to participate must be made by Greenwich time (London, United Kingdom).

I was a bit dismissive of the print in that its more whimsical, like a story book illustration. But maybe that's the point, given lockdown prevented the street piece from happening in reality, the print version was created.
Alot of street pieces would be hard to recreate in way that works in print format. I really like the hosed background, all green and lots of drips.
The print makes more sense now

What am I missing?

Banksy Tree Mural • North London, by Fake on Mar 18, 2024 12:10:28 GMT 1, I love this piece! although I don't think this is a Banksy.
The technique is different from what he usually does.
The green in the character is painted on top of the black and Banksy would paint it behind the black and keep open spaces in the black layer to let the green through. He would first paint the black layer for reference and paint the colored bits, then repaint the black layer again for the end result.
A good example of his technique is in this video: www.instagram.com/tv/CMAHrGPFV2V/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
But this is only my 2 cents ;-)
