Tweet It’s been a while, but it appears Banksy’s back putting up, on home soil no less. This piece has just been captured in Hastings, which EINE calls home. VIA.
Tweet Banksy’s been quiet of late by his standards, but that silent spell might have been broken over in Portland, US. Either that or there’s a very accomplished impostor at work, judge for yourself .. Most notably, there’s this blue rain NOLA that just went up. This photo was taken by Tim F.S. Brown, who […]

Tweet Banksy’s homepage had another update, including a couple of gems not seen before. Here are the all new Banksys from the update that we haven’t already documented here. First up, in Brooklyn.

Tweet These days, it seems no sooner has a Banksy gone up, it gets either cut from the wall to be resold, buffed, reworked, or “vandalised” (as much as you can vandalise vandalism). Banksy’s latest stop on his US tour, New York was no exeption. The culpit in this case seems to be a tagger […]
