I'm Banksy

I am also Banksy!

Turns out it was.. the guy who they thought it was for the last 20 years.

Crap, y'all found me.

I read the name, but already forgot. Banksy for life

If anyone wants to watch an interesting and odd movie kinda about Banksy, check out 'Exit through the gift shop'

Wait...how the fuck did they find me?

I hate to admit it…

but I am Banksy

If it were me I'd take a secret like that to David Jones's Locker

What is the point of naming him? Seems like a dick move.

I'm Banksy and so is my wife!

This is the dick move that makes a reporter feel like they've achieved something smart. How is this in the public interest other than to gain clicks and ego points.

so they... just think they have the right guy, yet again, but also yet again they don't present any hard evidence. Yeesh just give it up.

The identity behind the mask is irrelevant. The mystery was never the point it is just part of the art.

Banksy might be whoever they’ve uncovered now but like the Dread Pirate Roberts it can be someone else tomorrow.

Ha! They think they got me, again.

In death, we are all Robert Paulson Banksy

Bullshit, I was hanging out with him, having dinner at Texas Roadhouse at that time.

I thought it was the cops, but its fucking reuters. What is wrong with them?

Some critics believe Banksy’s anonymity is as important to his work as stencils and paint.

Yet here you are trying to de-anonimize him...

What about Wanksy

Same as the dude that burnt down library of Alexandria. Sometimes bad memory can be an asset.

Nous sommes tous Banksy.

"I don’t want to be the guy who exposes Banksy," he said.

And yet…

A graffiti artist in Bristol

You mean it wasn't a watercolouring accountant from Iowa? No fucking shit.

Who cares, he ripped off Blek Le Rat and covered the oldest King Robbo piece in London (RIP King Robbo.) Fuck Banksy for that shit, he's not even a writer, get some damn handstyles.

Robbo stated that Banksy was introduced to him for the first time in the 1990s, commenting: "I was at a place called the Dragon Bar on Old Street. I was introduced to a couple of guys who were like 'Whoa it's nice to meet you!' When I was introduced to Banksy, I went 'Oh yeah I've heard of you mate, how you doing?' and he went 'Well I've never heard of you' ... he dismissed me as a nobody, as nothing. So with that I slapped him and went 'Oh what you ain't heard of me? You won't forget me now will you?' And with that he picked up his glasses and ran off."

Yeah, can't really claim Banksy started this one. Robbo, according to himself, was an utter dick.

Regardless of how much of a dick someone is off the walls, the one who covers the other is the one that starts the war on the walls, it is how it is. Not that nobody caps people because they were a dick, it can be the reason someone starts a war, but then they still start it "because" of the off-wall antics

Besides, a bigger name like Robbo saying he hasn't heard of a (then) nobody like Banksy is normal, it's like Dolly Parton not having heard of John Moreland, but if John Moreland then replies "well I've never heard of you" back to Dolly then it's a lie or he isn't up on his history. Dolly might not slap John Moreland about it, but then again Country stars aren't literal criminals who fight over disrespect in their own city like graff writers are. Like, someone like Earsnot might have literally fought him over that tbh, like, worse than just a slap, especially back then.

Oh you're one of those people that thinks respect is a justification for violence. Nevermind then.

Well no, but that's the graffiti culture, especially back then. It's calmed down a bit now but is still a thing for sure. Does that make it right? Not necessarily, but do it be like it is? Yes.
