given the chance, I'd switch places with him. Well, unless he has leprosy or syphilis.
how has he "sold out" other than his work has become popular and he's managed to make some money off that? Or in your mind does popular appeal = selling out?

sure, he sold out. you mean you wouldn't if in his shoes.
he's decent enough artist with a clever mind and an penchant for great strap-lines. and he got off his arse and did created something.
i'm not his biggest fan or anything, but equally i don't think he ever stood up and said, "hey, look at me, i'm the best". he just did his thing.- pls excuse typos...paulPCcollins

yeah i laugh at all the people who are too street to even be called cool, who shred him to pieces! He was doing original stuff in the beginning.. it's getting tired now, only because he has thousands of copycats!!!
I think his work is awesome, and still the most plentiful on London. If you wanna slate him, fukken do better instead of sitting at your pc picking at the few tiny faults he might have.
..and i haven't even started ranting yet!!

not like they're actually really comparable but after all this Fairey noise I have a new healthy appeciation for what Bankey does.
- Its important to appeciate!andymcandy
- well at first I thought Banksy was the tits shit but then was put off all the media and art shows and stuff. he just seemed like another sellout.KwesiJ
- ...like another sellout. But this Fairey shinanigans is pretty bad and he was actually considered 'street artist'KwesiJ
- Makes me rethink what Banksy has been doing all along and the actual scene he's a part of.KwesiJ
