Banksy Backlash

Banksy No More, originally uploaded by Adam Tinworth.

It looks like the backlash against London's favourite (Bristolian) street artist may have begun.

Update: Our anti-Banksy graffiti artist isn't nearly as clever as he thinks. It turns out that this particular piece of work is by Arofish, and not Banksy after all.

Banksys work is wry, witty and to the point-the only graffiti worth tolerating-unlike the backlasher

It might be a statement from a fan of Arofish telling us what they think of Banksey...
Thanks for mentioning Arofish, never heard of that artist, I'll have a look now.

That's an intruiging thought, isn't it? Gangs of rival graffiti artist fans, waging war across the city with unwanted addons to their hero's rival's work...

That picture is someone trying to put up there own stencil and little message and then some other complete dipshit mistook that stencil for Bansky and added that crayon looking Banksy hater writing. LOL this picture is stupid. I have some true Banksy pictures that i took for CTC Magazine. you can see the picures here:

The trouble with Banksy
It's a stencil of a protestor! And, wait! Get this! He's throwing flowers! If you did GCSE Art in the UK then you were probably asked to do something like this.The trouble with dangerous urban street art phenomenon Banksy is that his art is infantile, witless shit, and his stunts are self-congratulatory trivia.

Charlie Brooker says it best:

12.20am Cunt
Nathan Barley purchases a copy of Knees Royale, the debut album from a knowingly lo-fi Westbourne Grove-based band called The Knees, whose music is a thinly-veiled amalgamation of the Strokes and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (yet manages to be precisely one-hundredth as rewarding) and whose CD cover boasts a specially commisioned portrait of the queen wearing a Bomberman helmet, sprayed rebeliously on the wall of a Soho alleyway by dangerous urban street art phenomenon Banksy, whose provocative stencilled images of riot vans and monkeys effortlessly shatter the cosy mindsets of all uptight “normals” who see them, while simultaneously providing a vague sense of inclusive 21st-Century somethingism to the self-orbiting cuntrungs who frequent the kind of gentrified media locales in which is sixth-form wall-splatterings tend to be somewhat conveniently displayed.

If you derive intellectual stimulation from his work, then you are a fool. If you describe it as “provocative” in a national newspaper, in a magazine, or on your weblog, then I hate you.
