I'm Banksy!

Inspired by last Thursday's edition of The Culture Show, which had a tape recording of what was almost certainly not Banksy, I thought it might be useful to have a thread for anyone who wants to declare themselves to be the stenciling artist.

So... I'm Banksy!

*prepares faceknife for first person who says, "I'm Banksy and so is my wife" in the manner of someone making that joke in a wholly fresh, original way*

I suspect my cat of being Banksy. He keeps disappearing for weeks on end and I've got no idea where he's going.

I'm not Banksy, but maybe my cousin is!

Actually I was just thinking today of the Banksy article as I was watching sides of houses pass by as I rode along in a train carriage. And I thought, I'd love to own an end of row house so I could invite Banksy to come and paint the wonderful creative possibility of space that is the side of a house. It was just an idle thought, but a pleasant one nonetheless. Put a little sign on it saying "painted with permission from owner" so no one could complain or try to wash it off.

pointless & uncalled for

I was Banksy but I sold the rights to Piers Morgan for the price of a Krispy Kreme doughnut.

I really am Banksy. I let my 7 year old nephew answer the question's sent to my "contacts". He's a very bright kid.

Ganesh is totally Banksy.

Yes you fucking are.

No, Ganesh is merely Wanksy.

What in the heck is "banksy"?

There's a sub banksy rip off stencil by the National Film Theatre, and someone has added a speach bubble to the character so it says "fuck off Banksy"

Made me laugh.

anyway, Grant Morrison is Banksy, and so's his wife.

I'm actually a Banksy. I was stencilled on the wall of an old ruined temple during a lunar eclipse, and brought to life by an irregular set of mystical circumstances involving a car battery, a lorryload of squid and an escaped ferret. Just ask the monks.

There is no Banksy, only Zuul.

He's that one eyed goal-keeper, right?

ZF!

I thought Banksy was really a collective. So we could all be Banksy.

"Fuck off Banksy". Synchronicitously, I just took that photo today.

(actually, I think that artist is featured in that Stencil Grafitti book that I've mentioned here before, and has been doing stencil art for at least as long as Banksy has, but the book's at home and I'm not, so I can't check.)

Banksy, Strix. Guerrilla artist. As mysterious as Zorro.

No Zool is the gatekeeper. for Gozer, the gozairian.

i love the Ghostbusters.

The Puck

and neither of them are Banksy

because the Ghostbusters sent them back to there own dimension by crossing the streams which, granted at the time was a "really bad idea" but paid off.

lol @ "there is no Banksy, only Zuul"
that was my all time favorite movie when I was about 5 years old. I used to dress up and go around the house catching ghosts and everything.
