I wrote this article for Ezine Articles, its about the recent spate of attacks on Banksy works in Bristol:
Banksy Prints – The Sole Remains?
By Lora Sutton
The last year has seen three major Banksy Graffiti pieces destroyed in what appears to be attacks by people who seem jealous of his creativity and certainly lacking the talent to produce their own works.
Soon, it would seem, the only way to see Banksy Art will be by buying Banksy Prints, as more and more of his works are... Read Full Story
Fans of Banksy Graffiti might not be wholly surprised to hear that he has used Animatronics in his latest work - a Pet Shop full of bizarre and outlandish creatures. Back in 2005 in Westbourne Grove, London, Banksy filled a Shop with Art and live rats and you had to sign a disclaimer before entering to ensure you knew what might happen by way of rat! People were only let in four at a time to avoid harming the rodents and it must have been pretty strange to be viewing one of his oil paintings... Read Full Story
I found this great video from the Cans Festival in London.
We really wish we could have made it there, it looked amazing, but at least here at Banksy Posters we now have the next best thing!

If we need more evidence that the world is dumbing down, after the pick of Sarah Palin for Vice President, then perhaps the recent poll, which showed more people recognise Banksy’s iconic Kate Moss Andy Warhol tribute than Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, is further evidence. The set of six silk-screen prints of Kate Moss, a favourite at Banksy Posters , set a record in 2006 when they sold for $100K, the highest amount received at an auction at the time. Perhaps this poll is evidence of dumbing down... Read Full Story
Alright the title is a little bit of an exaggeration but Bristol may as well build themselves a Banksy Museum for keeps, I mean, what a tourist trap! Banksy is the biggest thing to hit Bristol since erm… slavery? Okay that’s a low blow but I have to admit all this gushing about Banksy in Bristol because he’s from Bristol kinda does my head in.
Bansky has ‘taken over’ Bristol City Museum (well I’m sure it was handed to him on a plate actually) today Saturday 12th of June for the next 12... Read Full Story
Art takes a stance on exotic furs and animal testing for cosmetics...
There's no secret of our lack of love for animal cruelty or vanity furs, and our fascination with street art. So when they meet head-on, we are there. Thought provoking inspirati... Read Full Story
Banksy goes animatronics this time and creates a warped 'pet store' in New York's West Village. The name Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill should give you a clue as to the managerial direction. Just go see it for yourself. Open until the 31st of October 89 Seventh Avenue South (Between West 4th and Bleeker). A bit far but hey ... Read Full Story
News of a fresh mural of a Giant Rat in New York is appearing on various forums on the Internet as Banksy Posters speculate whether this latest piece is Banksy Graffiti or not. The Giant Rat is one of two murals to appear in NYC (the latest is literally going up right now!) over the last week. There is some doubt as to Artist behind the rats, however they resemble Banksy’s style and as for subject matter, rats have figured in his work for a long time, indeed they are virtually his trademark...

Banksy rolls in just in time for Halloween with his first New York City Exhibition, The exhibit is called a Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill and is a faux pet shop that includes a menagerie of animated creations.
Real stuffed leopards and coquettish bunnies getting ready for a night on the town make up just part of the collection. referring to one of his pieces, two chicken nuggets drinking barbecue sauce, Banksy says:
“New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets... Read Full Story
