Banksy puts up some fresh new pieces in England

Over the past couple days, Banksy has blessed the public with two new pieces. This miniature b-boy (above) is picture perfect and the fact that Banksy integrated the wall into the piece makes it that much better. Check after the jump for a detail shot, as well as the other piece Banksy put up.

Banksy Reacts To Wall Street

http://www.theworldsbestever.com/2008/10/02/banksy-reacts-to-wall-street/ Blood on the hands, a suitcase stuffed with money, and a message “Let Them Eat Crack”. Banksy ‘s latest rat was completed this morning and the words couldn’t have been any clearer for a city that has been so concerned with ‘me’ first. Wall Street never cared about you and they never will.
http://www.theworldsbestever.com/2008/09/28/new-banksy-piece-in-nycs-soho/ The refreshing onslaught of street art continues. Arriving on a wall near Grand street and Wooster in Manahattan’s Soho is Banksy’s latest work, a three-story high commisioned rat donning the iconic ‘I heart NY’ t-shirt. The piece was painted by professional sign painters Colossal, who must be fighting over the keeper rights to Banksy’s sketch for the piece. A couple more images after the jump

Banksy: Stop and Search

A new Banksy print, Stop and Search, was released today to the internet saavy. Here is what the folks said about it on Santa’s Ghetto , “Banksy would doubtless have you believe this print is an ironic comment on the paranoid nature of our security-minded times. But seriously, how much is this guy courting the pink pound? http://www.theworldsbestever.com/2007/12/17/banksy-stop-and-search/
Well, sort of. Opening this Sunday at the Vanina Holasek Gallery in New York is Banksy Does New York .

the future of banksy

In the outstanding movie Children of Men there is a scene where in the Palace of Fine Arts there is a huge section of wall cut out and placed on display. On this section there is a Banksy piece “Kissing Coppers”. It turns out that this vision of the future was spot on as preserving Banksy pieces is becoming a norm. The Owner of a pub in England has followed suit and placed protective glass/plastic/plexiglass over the image of Kissing Coppers.
