It seems to me that he never actually went out to get into the spotlight. The spotlight found him.<BR/><BR/>He is undoubtably one of the most genious self promoting artists of our time but this is purely on our part.<BR/><BR/>Every blog or website talking about him gives google something to sink it's teeth into and food for the print sellers.<BR/><BR/>I see nothing wrong with people selling off his prints but with recent fakes coming to light through POW, can we be sure of a bargain or a rip-off?<BR/><BR/>A new kind of Banksy art has show it's head recently.<BR/><BR/>The Banksy print sellers on canvas. These are photographs of his work (totally legal) that are printed onto canvas or other substrate. One such company is <A HREF="http://www.fourblankwalls.co.uk" REL="nofollow"><B>Four Blank Walls.</B></A> that sells his works on canvas or perspex for about £80.00.<BR/><BR/>Whilst some would say that this is not on; why can we all not have a banksy for a fiver?<BR/><BR/>Banksy is the new hype at the moment and there seems to be no slowing down. Whatever we buy, it doesn't really matter as long as we enjoy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
