apologies if it's been mentioned, but whilst in London for the Urban Art Awards I decided to do a bit of banksy sightseeing and tried to find the mortar rats down on the embankment opposite Westminster..no luck, looks like they are gone..anyone seen them recently or was i just in the wrong spot

Apparently there was a Cartrain piece on the same light pillar

There's a surprise!

[dmandpenfold]

which bit MM, the council spring cleaning, my sense of direction being up the khyber or Cartrain being on the same pillar?

apparently they were there for at least a year or so

[romanywg]

Gone. I went past a month ago and looked for ages but they have been removed sadly.

[corblimeylimey]

These were taken in Febuary this year (before Cartrain came along)

The Cartrain bit...

[dmandpenfold]

cheers CBL, that would have been pretty close to the bridge, i looked along there several times, like romanywg says definitely gone then

[snakes]

Now those little buggers would make an ace print.

aha!

[njr911]

Are there still some further along ? Over the bridge ?

[dmandpenfold]

Not sure, i looked the entire length between Westminster and "the other" bridge, apparently there is an invader on the Westminster Bridge, but it was too dark to see.

I did get to see some fake banky's in Spittalfields Market though

After Cartrain...



It may have got cleaned off as the cartrain may have drawn too much attention to it.

saw that one for the 1st time last week whilst driving in the Islington one way system.

[manchestermike]

That last one is an absolute piss take, what an utter, utter cunt... I hope if he starts selling stuff no-one touches it with a barge pol

[manchestermike]

What's this guy done to merit having his own forum!?

[daveanthony28]

I think it's to do with he's 15 years old that he has his own forum, if I remember Silkys post & he was helping to give the lad some exposure..sure he'll soon realise he'll get more cred not doing work right nextto Banksy, although it's got him recognised I'll granthim that.

[manchestermike]

Doesn't matter if he's 15 or 45.... it's a shit thing to do...

Just looked at the forum too...

Well, if I can't say anything nice, I won't say anything at all... and I can't say anything nice about any of it...

Mike- that avatar has me pissing in me pants. does that would-be handbag thief get his just deserts or what? lol.. hahahahaha///

[buddings]

i agree, i think his stuff is crap. i could make much better stencils than that when i was 15, i didnt try and get big and use my age just to make a name. in a recent thread about computer games he was saying he is against games etc.... come on mate your 15, have fun. you dont have to inherit the opinions of your idols.

sorry

[romanywg]

He certainly has no respect for other artists' work. But then neither did this tagger.

I loved the mortar rats. I was in town a few months back and didn't spot them, but did find another rat (can't remember which one now, I've a photo somewhere at home)
