GraffotoBefore I set out this morning on the minimal effort that passes as my contribution to the irreligious Xmas consumer fest, I glanced though my Flickr contacts’ latest uploads and saw ArtOfTheState had uploaded a new Banksy. And when AOTS calls it as a Banksy, it damn well is a Banksy. I recognised the building […]
photos: Romanywg and Nolionsinengland where stated Banksy appears to be getting the limitations of a formal show out of his system by going back to decorating street walls. First the M40 Bandit appeared a couple of weeks ago and is generally accepted to be Banksy although no “official” confirmation has been made. Westway bandit, Nolionsinengland […]
Bristol June 13 – Aug 31 2009 Photos: Nolionsinengland, Howaboutno, Art Of The State, Shellshock Banksy is a bloke from Bristol who leaves messages on the streets and in Museums, you may have heard. Banksy In London; Nolionsinengland He is more than just my favourite cartoonist, even though he doesn’t have a daily newspaper slot […]
By less than popular demand, shell shock (a train spotter and admin monkey at the Banksy group on flickr, and author of ’Banksy Location & Tours’) trawled 2,000+ photos, poured over a hotch potch of info, asked people stupid questions, and drove many miles to the Museum, just to bring you this short guide to […]
One of the unique charms of London’s art galleries is their enlightened welcome of members of the public who can add their own enhancements to the displayed works and correct the principal artist’s shortcomings. Actually no but in the case of the Leake Street tunnel there ain’t no stopping anyone with a spray can getting […]
Leake Street tunnel re-opened this morning to reveal a lush kaleidoscope of freehand spray graffiti and ensemble of burnt out cars. Crowd control barriers not required this time – no crowds! No ice cream vans, no posters, not even any staff, just a no-fuss “ok, at your leisure look at what we’ve done this time” […]
Off the back of a bogus tip off on one of the more decidely dodgy streetart forums this morning, myself and nolions hot footed over the Lower Marsh for a “Banksy print release”…… no surprise that it turned out to be complete and utter bollocks, we at least got a sneaky peak over the barriers […]
Remember how news of the Cans Festival broke to us common plebs last May? Some posters, a list of artists too incredible to believe? In just 5 days time? Well, now we have a new mystery: What could it be? Some have talked of something fresh, some have talked of The Grand Buff (actually I […]
Following on nicely from the Banksy street piece held by Andipa mentioned in the post below, a picture of it features on the cover of an absolutely brilliant new retrospective book on the worldwide culture of street art. Entitled “Untitled – Street Art in The Counter Culture” (hence the clever title of this post 
Also […]
To fill the void of this incredibly dull period of inactivity on the local streets, lets have a look at some obscure, less well-known but not likely to have been forgotten Banksy pieces. Firstly, in one of those grotty yet achingly trendy shoreditch arty farty bars Mr HowAboutNo, obviously being younger and trendier and still […]

Popped down to the third and final day of Cans Festival, this time with a mission to get past the security and get some photos on the exit ramp where all the un-billed artists could rock up and spray. Conning my way past with a few stencils in my mitts, the results of this mass […]
Leake St, 3 May – 5 May 2008 words/pictures: nolionsinengland. LA got its elephant in the room (has anyone else noticed the “Elephant In The Room” drawing added to Banksy.co.uk, curious since everything else on his site is publicly seen work), Notting Hill had the rats, Waterloo’s tunnel hosted possibly the finest selection of global […]
Between us we have managed to get a few of them, certainly turning out to be a Banksy heavy 2008 
(all photos Bonhams) Originating from the streets of Bristol, Brighton and London, growing up via galleries in the East End (TLSG and BRP well represented tonight), the street print and canvas fetish they call urban art arrived in the plush west end auction rooms of Bonhams tonight . Standing room only as Banksy stole the […]
