Loved this pod! I enjoyed how Banksy's impact and identity -- because he's an anonymous artist --was framed solely by the public.

Banksy has sadly become really over popularised recently, but his stuff is so original I'm glad he's reached the masses after so long.
One Notting Hill Carnival there were loads of £10 notes being thrown everywhere, people were going crazy, I picked one up and found that instead of it saying "Bank of England" it said "Banksy of England"
Only recently did I realise that it might be quite a good thing that I held onto it... - 4 years ago

I think Bansky work is incredible. I live very close to a lot of his artwork and admired for ages before I realized who it was by and before he became more widely known. Hackney Council have recently decided to remove a lot of his art work to send a message that 'graffiti' as they call it will not tolerated so go and see it while you can.

Banksy may very well be more than one person. It might be a whole gang of people.
How do they know it's by Banksy though? It could be someone who drew something on the wall and signed his name.

I love Banksy's art. His book is excellent, I highly recommend getting it. I think it's great how he can open peoples eyes to topics that some choose to ignore or pretend don't exist with his images.

This is my first time hearing about this guy and his work is incredible! The one that really got me was the television crew holding back the Red Cross.

i freakin love banksy and i think this pod does a great job of showing a great amount of his work in a very short amount of time. while we can't get to know the character of banksy, we instead get to see how banksy's work affects his/her audience in a very direct way. very sincere interviews. banksy definitely tears down walls between fine art and street art. man, nothing tops that paris hilton stunt. love it.

Great pod, I thought it was really interesting. I've been reading a lot about this guy lately and I think this pod paints a pretty good portrait of him, so to speak. The music was perfect throughout the entire thing and the characters were informative and interesting. I thought it needed a bit more movement, but other than that very good job!

I was so excited to see a pod on Banksy; more reason to watch Current. I've always knew that he took Paris Hilton CD's and changed them to make a statement (like he always does), but i never saw them. anonymous Banksy hope to see your work soon.

i just learned about this guy today, glad to see someone already posted something about him. The art work is awesome, hopefully if his identity is revealed he won't be charged and processed. Great work, keep it up.

Brilliant! I wish I had one of those doctored CDs he made..what a star.
Am horrified some of his work has been painted over recently...perhaps a copy of this pod should be sent out to those bureaucratic s**t heads at the councils around the UK! - 5 years ago

Bansky ia incredible, some graffiti artists I feel just paint to be a rebel or to "beat the man" (graffiti for graffiti''s sake), Bansky makes change, and makes his point heard. He is being a true artist, and a true human.

Love Bansky! I lived in London and saw some of his street art. (Though they are very quickly taken away). There's a great book about him, called Bansky! Keep on the excellent work!

I love the fact that he does it anonymously. It's not about the money or fame, it's about the art. Very respectable...

I remember carrying Banksy prints in my shop a few years back when he was only known by avid graf followers.. his work was especially appealing because it also expressed his views and opinions that we all felt.. now he's attained this level of fame that fetches several thousand dollars for his prints on ebay and the attention of celebrities.. not sure how I feel about it.. it's good and bad..
To quote Banksy.."The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit."
This is a great article about Banksy if you want to know more about him.
