i meant to write that one is a copy of a banksy stencil i made when i was bored last year, thought i'd use it because i really like it.

Stencil art has been around longer than the emergence of Banksy. I'm fairly sure of that. Banksy just took it to the next level i suppose.

it's supposed to be, i made it because i was a new stencil maker back then and wanted to practice with random designs that one caught my eye and i decided to do, just thought i'd use it, i'm not claiming i designed it. all i did was spread it around. know what i mean?

banksy does satire in art form, downie just does art. nice art though.

that's what i would say the major difference is

I want to know who did the one in the underpass near the police station that had a guy on a space hopper, and said 'Never Grow Old'. I liked it, but they've painted over it now.

i saw that one last week when i was at my parents. i didn't do it, if i remember correctly, it blends in with the paint work at the bottom.

the space hopper one was nice, there was a few around that area at one point, and the penguin stickers.

as for satire, i love the satirical side of banksy's work but i am far too unknowledgable in current affairs to do satirical pieces. only thing i come up with is unoriginal anti war/bush pish. so i think i'll do little pretty pics and alike
