Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by muti on Aug 25, 2009 11:39:21 GMT 1, Sorry I might be a bit slow and haven't read all the threads relating to this piece but I dont think it is Zorro, if it is near a major highway then I think it's Dick Turpin or a similar highway robber style character.

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by hlarmy on Aug 25, 2009 11:39:26 GMT 1, Still not 100% certain on the lettering though. Looks a tad untidy for Banksy no?
My thoughts exactly ... plus it doesn't feel like a Banksy to me

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by bazzj04 on Aug 25, 2009 11:52:07 GMT 1, "There is a long history of treating highway robbers as heroes. Originally they were admired by many because they were considered to be bold men who confronted their victims face-to-face and were ready to fight for what they wanted"
I just liked this piece about a Highwayman

It looks a little like words were written by different people. If you compare the S's and E's. The word "Slow" looks very Banksy. (I'm not a hand writing expert)
Or that could be because of the height and difficulty getting there!
I doubt he works alone on something this big in any case.

just to reiterate - the character in the piece has done the lettering - so the lettering won't be pristine

not done with roller, this is freehand, and ever so similar to his last graffiti writing

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by Macdeee on Aug 25, 2009 12:07:01 GMT 1, I think Banksy has done the piece, with the "Live fast.." quote on it then to add a little something extra done some pink fire-extinguisher action all over the shop to add a little extra. He probably had permission from the studios and probably was doing it on Sunday night under the cover of scafolding when I drove right past it!
