Hmmm...could have done I guess. But he would have had to have bought the copies first, as they still have the Paris Hilton barcode on them. Not very Banksy like - to ensure that the artiste still receives their royalties, especially the artiste in question. But yeah. He could have done.

No worries
Banksy isn't as right on as people think. Me and Cyberfairy had a run in with his 'minders' at Glastonbury last year. Right intimidating they were. They nearly had my camera off me. If they had done i would have been up banging on the farmhouse door complaining to Eavis as it was written in the programme that we should look out for Banksy round the site as part of the 'attractions'.

What was he doing at Glasto Lisa?

He had done bits of art on some of the toilet cubicles and walls. I happened to catch him touching up one of them with stencils in the circus field and tried to take a photo of him. It was the middle of the day, loads of people were watching him doing it, but i was surrounded by 3 aggressive blokes giving it the "Banksy should never be photographed" bollox. I thought they were joking at first, but they weren't
I did try and point out that if he wants to remain anonymous then we shouldn't have been told to look out for him in the programme and that he does do exhibitions, which he attends and isn't very anonymous at

Not very annoymous at all! Hardly covert.

yea make a quick buck on ebay ...brilliant 
makes me angry that people are cashing in on it when it seems that its exactly what the original concept of banksys stunt was against....
someone even ripped a board in half on one of his main pieces in liverpool so that they can take the signature tag on the rats marker pen home.... Selfish fools!

It seems to me entirely in the spirit to sell it off - what do you see as that spirit?
I'll stick up for Banksy a little bit. I don't know the man, but some good folks and some serious activists down here speak highly of him. He's always contributed generously to their causes with new artwork and plenty of freebies, from the Reclaim the Streets days to RnB meetings
Of course, no-one could predict just how big he could be, nor how much his posters would turn out to be worth. But the sale of many donated Banksy pictures has helped to keep many an organisation and individual afloat down here. It's not perfect, but at least he's led to some positives.

i'm not against him at all, just think that it's a bit daft to think that this latest stunt means anything in the way of subversion - it's just the society of the spectacle in action.....
