Banksy has done an interview with the Sunday Times, which is an interesting read:

"I have a large collection of famous art at home, but they’re all fakes. I make them myself. If I like a picture I grab a photo, project it up and paint it. Sometimes I change the colours to fit with the curtains. I do it partly because I’m tight and partly because if the Basquiats and Picassos in the sitting room were real I’d be too scared to ever leave the house.

“I don’t make as much money as people think. The commercial galleries that have held exhibitions of my paintings are nothing to do with me. And I certainly don’t see money from the T-shirts, mugs and greeting cards. My lawyer calls me ‘the most infringed artist alive’ and wants me to do something about it. But if you’ve built a reputation on having a casual attitude towards property ownership, it seems a bit bad-mannered to kick off about copyright law.”

'it's good enough to be mad'


The Zoo Project fascinates me; the work's great, there's a lot of it in Paris, but he's more elusive than Banksy.

These little people, always facing the wall, invaded Barcelona two years ago and then disappeared.
They've made a second invasion in the last few months.

The artist is a mystery, as is the significance of the little people.
Some speculate they may have walked into the wall, some say they may be timid and introspective.
Either way, it's a fun Invader-style invasion.
