Thats pretty cool graffiti..I have always considered graffiti an art form, I have always enjoyed the work of banksy, and it is nice to see some other artistic graffiti, as opposed to the tagging you see many places.

Many of those were amazing. I even recognized the influences on some of their styles.

I've said it before, though; and I'll say it again. Yes graffiti is art, but if someone ever put some of this art on the side of my house I'd be kicking their f**king ass.

That's the thing, it's art; but it's also destructive of property. Abandoned buildings are fair game as far as I'm concerned, and beleive it or not bars and tatoo shops and skate shops would probably be willing to allow (and maybe even pay) a graffiti artist to paint something on their building. But just putting it up wherever the hell you want is crap, IMMFO.

A not unreasonable stance. I have to say that I'd feel the same whoever it were doing the painting.

If Rembrandt came round here, paint brush in hand and eyeing up my shed I'd be telling him to clear off just as loudly as if he were a local hoody with a spray can.

"Oi! Rembrandt! I painted that wall eggshell because I wanted it eggshell. If I'd wanted a depiction of a biblical feast done in a baroque, Ruebenesque style I would have done it myself. Now get down B&Q, get some emulsion, paint over that eyesore and then f**k off back down the park with your can of cider."

BWWWWWHAHAHHAahahahahaha. That f**kin slayed me. I'm in one of my frequent daft moods too so it was even funnier.

I picture you saying that like Victor Meldrew!

I don't want to detract from your mental image, but if you're interested, when I typed it, I typed it more in the style of Mike Reid as Frank Butcher - angry Londoner type of thing.

Pffftttt, like he'd know what Ruebenesque meant. lol

*Sidenote* Did you watch any of that The Baron on ITV?

No, I'd never even heard of it - that sounds like a very very strange concept indeed.

Did you just google it?

It was possibly THE most bizarre television I've ever seen!

Uncomfortable, cringe inducing and totally weird.

If you can find any of it online you should watch it, seriously. In one of the episodes Malcolm McClaren (ex Sex Pistols manager) got up to make a speech to this tiny religious community and called them all boring b*****ds, said they should all take drugs then got wrestled off stage by the harbour master.

Now tell me that's not just damn good television :)

Banksy can graffiti my house anytime he wants....but first I'll have to buy it and stop living in an apartment.

Seriously the prices Banksy's work is selling for I'd f**kin hand him the aerosol myself and hand him brewski's while he while he worked.

That, and he's an amazing artist.

I could never part with a Banksy original, and it would probably involve removing a wall from a house, which would be kind of a ridiculous thing to try to sell.

Is this Noa from Sky Dolls, or just done in the same style?
