Banksy's work does not deface walls, it enhances them. So it's "free" civic art in my book.

I read an interesting article a while ago about his stuff in Gaza, apparently he had quite a few oh shit moments where the Israeli's were thinking of shooting him as a terrorist/non-Zionist.
So he spent a fair bit of his time face in the dirt with boots on his back. Still continued to paint the wall so fair play to him, especially as accidents do seem to happen at a fairly regular frequency over there.

Am I the only one here to think he is massively overated?

we've been a bit of a fan of Banksy round this way since the late 80's during Britains first golden age of graffiti art...
this guy is my favorite though;
I got his book for christmas.
Was'nt a fan cos i didnt know who/what it was. but a bit of a fan now
well done.
very good.
we need more people like this guy.Posted 2 years ago # -
Absolutely love Banksy. The combination of wit, subtlety and audaciousness needed for some of his work it brill. Much better than the hag tracy emmin anyday. (Excuse spelling, its early).

i don't follow art especially, but the effect banksy has had on bristol is fantastic. wander through stokes croft and new street art is happening before your eyes. people are actually excited to see what will happen next, and the other artists that have emerged just keep raising the bar
yet another reason why bristol is the best place in the world
his recent exhibition was fantastic (what queue? 7pm, last two days, walked straight in!)

Real urban hero!
(Rumours are about he used to do the artwork for our sound system many years ago but I'm not so sure)

Care to follow that up with reasons why he's overated ? Is there something else comparable that's under rated ? Do you think his work lacks meaning, lacks technical merit or skill ? Or do you just not like it and are making a value judgement based on taste?
Personally I'd say he's rated accordingly with the number of people who like what he does.

The glodmine? That must be the cave under Burwalls on the other side of the gorge, just up from the cycletrack.

I see plenty of his stuff in and around London
Most of them put a smile on me face So good work.
A great one is children saluting a Tesco carry bag
attached to a flag pole in Essex rd Islington.
