One of the most influential and important 'alternative' artists of our generation - seeing Lauz's signature reminded me of him and I thought he deserves a thread here. Anyway, I pass this everyday on my way to and from work : it's at the bottom of Highgate hill before you get to the tube at Archway and you wouldn't believe the amount of times when I have still thought there was a man trying to thumb a lift there lol

I think Bansky is really fantastic. He's very talented on his very special way.

He's thought provoking and doesn't have to get his face on the news and stuff in order to get his point across. Living in London, I'm lucky to have seen a fair few of his pieces, but the council treat it like vandalism and just destroy all these amazing pieces of art and social commentary. Bastards. Love this one Yeah, the stencils he uses are amazing... it must take so much planning and stuff but it's ultimately worth it

d'oh! He was "outed" in 2008 apparently Whether you believe Robin Gunningham and Banksy are the same person is debatable due to him/his agent neither confirming nor denying it.However I did like the following from him: I should really meander down to NW1 to see his new pieces. As for the Cowell thing - is there a source for this hun, as it's the first I've heard of it. Thanks

*reads* hmpf, bit of a sell out thing to do innit? I mean, even if it weren't Cowell that was on the receiving end, I still think it's a bit... well, not in line with his image or legend. However, I guess everyone has their price at the end of the day. Agree wiv ya there, Dave. It ain't big and it ain't clevah
