im 13 and banksy has been one of the biggest influences in my life in a while two months ago i thought about killing my self but the next day i saw his artwork and just the sight of it made me become happy i know it all sounds cleshe but banksy saved my life so id like to thank everyone who hs in some way been involed in art and risked fines nd jil time to be the modern philosophers like i try to be whenever i can thnk you for reading
looks like he did it with free hand, what i mean is he didn't use any stencils, which is unusual, i haven't seen any of his artwork as freehand before. my mum told me that some people don't respect banksy's art, but i do, and he is an inspiration to me as well.
@Alex2149 thats what i was thinking, then i realized how large a stencil he would need, if it is him, he probably did it free hand, which is why it looks a bit odd
This is insane, it's what art's all about. It just stops people in their tracks. It's like modern day Socrates. Makes people turn a mirror on themselves.
@Ishitoneveryone They say Banksy is Robin Gunningham, but who knows. Banksy isn't a graffiare he's a street artist because he uses stencils and tiles to make his piece like murals not canned up offhand so he uses lots of tools and that makes him and a lot of others street artists. No idea who was the first in street art but taki 183 was the first to tag but bet the first pioneers of street are in AVANT
@Bdog0905 It's the same thing. It's not like street art is legal. In Banksy's own movie, he called himself a GRAFFITI artist. By the way, I don't think this is even him.
this argument is gold, i am basing my extended essay on the topic to what extent is graffiti/ street art vandalism or an art/art movement. please if you dont mind, tell me you point of view and outlook on this very controversial subject. if you inbox me that will be even better. cheers.
@mercilessMarksmen It would be unlikely that any building owner or district council/authority would allow "Let them eat crack" to be on view in 20 feet letters.
I guess if I were to try to paint something very large but recognizable on the side of a building, & had to do it in the middle of the night, and do it quickly, I suppose I'd make a template that an accomplice could use from another building top to guide a laser pointer to shoot a beam against the wall I'm working on. It would give the outline & major details. He'd slowly move the laser & I'd follow it w/ paint. I doubt that's what he does, but I can't think of any other way myself.
@Mejuz no i just say google cus its easier than saying "spend some time doing research" and the docu-mocumentary was actualy a banksy art piece in itsself! he took over the actual documentary and turned it into what it is! he dont show his face ever his name wasent even known in midwest usa untill that doc came out. thats why i say "the film made him famous" but hes a mostly stencil street artist in this vid yhere is free hand spraypainting not realy banksys gig
@Ishitoneveryone y theres no banksy signature. Gottta have respect to those who did this because nowadays when you do great a graffiti it all goes to banksy
Banksy's work implies social and political messages and themes that are significant to people. What you call "true graffiti artists" are in an entirely different category. They scrawl their names illegibly on the wall only for the recognition of others like them, and not the larger public like Banksy. They do not appease to the average person, but only those who appreciate "getting up". Also, we are in an age of technology where artists create without ever physically touching their work.
jesus, is this man imune to law!?!?!no one got suspicious of the cherry picker, projector, or man painting over/on public property... .... ... lucky bastard.
Artists change. Develop. Its what they do, and I feel some of the humor is very much banksy. especially in the third piece. And, even if they're not? Who cares. Good art is good art.
@betterinformed like how you go on about theres no such thing about art? then state theres only famous art and non famous art ? "which are both forms of art. well theres no difference, just one is more familiar then the other :/ just saying x
This man is an art legend... all those huge stencils and artworks without anyone seen him...
im 13 and banksy has been one of the biggest influences in my life in a while two months ago i thought about killing my self but the next day i saw his artwork and just the sight of it made me become happy i know it all sounds cleshe but banksy saved my life so id like to thank everyone who hs in some way been involed in art and risked fines nd jil time to be the modern philosophers like i try to be whenever i can thnk you for reading
Reading your comment 11 years later. You should be 24. I hope you are doing well. Wish you all the best.
Love the third one! banksy is a genius!
0:51 I stared at that painter the entire clip thinking wtf? why isn't he moving? then i got it XD
this is simply amazing...
@Ephphathar RIGHT !!! You have to double take at first glance...then you finally realize just how incredible it actually is .
looks like he did it with free hand, what i mean is he didn't use any stencils, which is unusual, i haven't seen any of his artwork as freehand before.
my mum told me that some people don't respect banksy's art, but i do, and he is an inspiration to me as well.
What amazes me more than how he did it, and how he didnt get caught etc is how he finnished it in time.
I mean, all by himself? all night?
how does Banksy go around - create these massive artworks and go without being spotted in New York or anywhere for that matter. The guy is a genius.
Will they get rid of these paintings? ... I really hope they don't cause it looks amazing and it could be some valuable history.
haha that one at 1:13 got me i was like why isnt that guy cleaning up the rest of the wall he cant see it when he's up against it. nice art
incredibly thoughtful messages
@ 0:50 = The Dopest Illusion he has done in a while !
@Alex2149 thats what i was thinking, then i realized how large a stencil he would need, if it is him, he probably did it free hand, which is why it looks a bit odd
I think the third one is on church street, near the post office, I am not sure about the others though. Hope that helps...
can anyone point out where those peaces are? I would love to see them.
Is that crayon ? BTW
On the 3rd one it looks so real with the guy covering the stuff :D !
Savin' up for a trip to Tokyo to do some street art, im gonna document it for myself not for UA-cam but keep a look out for the next 7 months in tokyo
he probably got seen, but people love him so much that they don't want him to get caught!
@TheoryGaming The first piece could be, but the second has no seam and matches the wall too well.
Banksy goes home, creates a VERY large stencil, goes up in the night, pins it up, sprays all over it, fills in details, and then takes it off.
@GC13girl I think it is freehand just because of the size of the pieces. Too big for stencils.
everyone is better than the last, what a person.
you can tell by the style knoox.
This is insane, it's what art's all about. It just stops people in their tracks.
It's like modern day Socrates. Makes people turn a mirror on themselves.
That's Baaanksy?
how do they know its banksy... he doesnt tag his work... so does he just have a specific style of work?
Love this guy art work bro’s
@bethanyxxx4191 robbo does do freehand work, but since he just writes his name and obsenities I dont see the comparison?
maybe Banksy is a 15 feet tall British man ..
I mean this Stunt is crazy. legal or not, New York never sleep, and this is absolutely cool
can someone tell me wherre exactly these are i wanna c em i live in manhattan
@Ishitoneveryone They say Banksy is Robin Gunningham, but who knows.

@dicko9000 tru but how did he get the cherry picker on top of a shop
Is that really Banksy? They dont look like they are done with spray cans, and could he really have done that on such a large scale!
I saw the one at 0:53.. it was off Canal st.
HAH i like it had me eye and an idea for a bit of billboard usage
legal eagle... he knows his reachable ones will get ragged in a flash in nyc
question is not how he did, but how come no one saw him do it.
How the hell did he do those, but more so, how the fuck does no one manage to film him painting something like this!?
this argument is gold, i am basing my extended essay on the topic to what extent is graffiti/ street art vandalism or an art/art movement. please if you dont mind, tell me you point of view and outlook on this very controversial subject. if you inbox me that will be even better. cheers.
and how would you know.
how the HELL does he do it.. his graff dwarfs the throwups and other graff on the street 1:40 (lower right corner)
@mercilessMarksmen
It would be unlikely that any building owner or district council/authority would allow "Let them eat crack" to be on view in 20 feet letters.
Banksy was bound to have been seen, i mean its new york for gods sake!
Perfection....
however the meaning behind the stencil does
How the hell is that even possible
@henry4625 ??? robbo is from the uk..

The one at 0:50 I thought they were acualy buffing it then i looked closer and saw it was a painting...
his work stays up and is protected because it implies a message its not just a name oh and you stencil with cardboard not paper
@1:12 I giggled cause that was bad ass..
how isnt it?
not at all hes been doing them in pakistan, london,china italy and everywhere
@Ishitoneveryone Haha. Banksy was first in the media. Banksy wasn't the first on the street. Banksy was the last on the street.
how the fuck does he get up there, let alone make them that big?
:53 is badass
Hey Bansky, Came on to Guadalajara México¡
Inspiring...
Yeh but he does do it that big, surely.
@Ishitoneveryone y theres no banksy signature. Gottta have respect to those who did this because nowadays when you do great a graffiti it all goes to banksy
How the fuck did he do all that with out being noticed ???
epic.a fucking living legend.
you're tellin me this because?...
let me see a picture of some of your artwork because if its not better than his which i highly doubt it is than you cant judge him
at 1:00 is seriously thought there was a dude painting over the rat until i looked closely, banksy is ledge.

@mwells219 mascot for new york? more like London
@hck112 How dose he even get up there
jesus, is this man imune to law!?!?!no one got suspicious of the cherry picker, projector, or man painting over/on public property... .... ... lucky bastard.
Artists change. Develop. Its what they do, and I feel some of the humor is very much banksy. especially in the third piece. And, even if they're not? Who cares. Good art is good art.
how do u know they are Banksys? they are definetely not his style, and all the references to Blek le Rat doesnt mean its him either, could be anyone.
Pure Art!
respect!
@dicko9000 pretty sure he uses multiple pieces of stencils man....like all street artists
look at the style of it. its a bit rough. looks painted w/ a brush as opposed to stenciled on. some dude ripped banksy off hard.
WOW
dude i was tripping out on 1:15
@hck112 yeah hes a genious, but that must be something legal. I mean thats New York! these streets are never sleeps
lol shit i thought that was a real painter on a window washer XD
wow I wOnd'R hOw lOng thAt tOOk to mAkE?
@gowerino no such thing "as" art my bad hehe
How the fuck did he do this?!
i dont think bansky is one artist, instead a team of artists.
i want try it in Indonesia
you guys know this isn't the real banksy right?
TEAM BANKSY & TEAM ROBBO
@betterinformed like how you go on about theres no such thing about art? then state theres only famous art and non famous art ? "which are both forms of art. well theres no difference, just one is more familiar then the other :/ just saying x
damn have not seen any new things has he been cought?
Let them eat cake!

Banksy took the idea of rats of Blek Le Rat and made them famous.
TEAM ROBBO BROOKLYN NY
