Cash in the Banksy, by gilsteph on Apr 19, 2008 18:18:01 GMT 1, Anyone seen this yet?
I really like it. This is what the artist says -
[glow=red,2,300]I have had a lot of feedback ever since this one went on some other Flickr members pages. Its not a piss take out of Banksy because I think his work is great. What I do however hate is the messiah like reputation he has among fans. People get very protective of hiim, people that dont even know the guy. In some cases threatening people who threaten to reveal who he is, which is an open secret anyway. In my opinion I think Banksy has gone from the subversive underground to the establishment elite. He can charge hundreds of thousand for his stuff and can hum and har when George Michael offers two million quid to do a bit of work. A fabulous commercial artist yes, an underground subversive, no. I mean how many revolutionaries have a manager?
If you disagree great. Buy the work and burn it![/glow]
I would be interested to know what every one else thinks.
