End of the month and I'm picturing a burnt out cherry-picker and a sheepish call to a rental company. Why 🤔 Hasn't Banksy been harmed enough? Why would anyone wish to sabotage his valiant efforts to brighten up our days? :-(( |

Please explain as if I'm a Banksy newbie.
Not his best I think. Outis is back. 🙄 The more I see and think about this my conclusion is that it must be one of the worst Banksys ever. What is the meaning of it? And there's not much technical ability required either. A flat stencil of two elephants! And it's not even a little bit fun. Please explain as if I'm a Banksy newbie. |

That is a very good point. Does look too young (or maybe just too slim). Either he’s the bloke on the left, or more likely not there at all. He apparently employed Borf to do some of the stencils in New York, so could be hiding his tracks in the same way here too.
It could even be a female, small hands and very slender wrists and narrow shoulders, also, in the second picture in 'Metro' whoever it is, appears to be wearing very skinny jeans, or jeggings, maybe......

As 'Cut & Run' highlighted -
“Most artists have an obsession that defines their work. Monet had light, Hockney has colour, I've got police response time.”

Next are three baby birds in a nest saved by the goat & the terrible twins. Funny? Weird at the least 🤷♂️ But nice for the kids to be taken on a banksy trail in summer, providing brandlers not taking them to auction off.

I'm one of Banksys biggest fans since 20+ years, because he's usually brilliant. But this is not very good.

I don’t think anyone here is trying to suggest the elephants are technically brilliant, incredibly refined, ground breaking or going to blow minds. However, to say they aren’t even a little bit fun is off the mark.
The simplicity and the placement is definitely a little bit fun, and sometimes that’s all that matters. Dont get me wrong, I much prefer his more complex pieces and his pieces with more meaning, but I’m enjoying this for what it is.

If they've put a smile on peoples faces, job done as far as I'm concerned.

Banksy Safari in London , by loui on Aug 7, 2024 10:53:42 GMT 1, I think its more likely to be - The Black Goat Act, enacted by the Israeli government in 1950, made it illegal to possess or herd black goats in Palestine. The law targeted the most common livestock in Palestine and a centuries-old farming tradition. The law also barred black goats from forests and woodlands, claiming they caused environmental damage.

I'd just sit back and enjoy the rest of the safari, we can't really judge a game until it's over, his projects are always conceptually very strong, I wouldn't expect anything less with this. Enjoy the ride ! |

They were on the bridge of the East London line and the new overground line now goes over Brick Lane instead of the East London line which went under.
