- alanocu, on 05/06/2008, -3/+14fantastic, thank you!
- manjy90, on 05/06/2008, -2/+11It's a monkey with a hat.
- FadieZ, on 05/06/2008, -1/+9Dugg for every single one.
- Djerrid, on 05/06/2008, -4/+11Wow! I've seen a lot of Banksy, but there's a ton of wonderful new ones there.

- pyrophire, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6Its amazing how ignorant people are when it comes to stencil street art. They see a stencil'ed piece and instantly call it as one of Banksy's work. Not every painting out there is by Van Gogh, nor is every marble sculpture by Michelangelo.
- fribhey, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5they aren't all banksy.
- livetheride, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5These are not all Banksy, although most of the better ones are. More information on the Can's Festival here:

A video of the festival here:

- fribhey, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3yeah well that competent poster has the title wrong because it's not a banksy gallery.... it's a gallery of ALL the artists that were in the can festival. only a handful of those were by banksy
- sfury, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3FAILE
- smoothlou, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4You're so deep man. I really dig the way you can interpret symbolism and ask that we interpret it in the same way. I only wish I went to art school so I could tell people how to enjoy stuff.
- digidelia, on 05/06/2008, -1/+41600x1200 isn't big enough?
- m4szyman, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Banksy's stuff is pretty cool, it's nice to see someone do something with spray paint other than write something retarded like "Blaze" or "Casper" on the side of a mailbox.
- thatdiabeticguy, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4false
- PaulRay, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3You are, just get in touch with it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Find a medium that suits you. All art is valid as long as the intention is valid.
- philwalsh, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3now this is something really digg worthy
- johnmatias, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Finally. Art that isn't dead puppies.
- groonk, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3wow. these grapes are sour.
- groonk, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2WIN!
- cheech794, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2All of them are amazing pieces of art, although not all Banksy. it is still nice to see fresh new takes on art
- kiwimonk, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2yea man! hes the Michaelangelo of the Metro
- CaptainDLucks, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2I just bought his book Wall and Piece this weekend, it's amazing and if you like his work you should get it, like right now
- AndrewDB, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3Not when you've got a 2560 x 1600 monitor.
- fribhey, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2digg for knowing who faile are!
- rossiprojects, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Stunning. Many Thanks to the great artists out there.
- kafeene, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2great work, but could have done without just 1 pic of each work, not 3
- misbehaves, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2have it and I don*t get tired of looking at it over and over...
- rezist, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3http://www.flickr.com/photos/eddiedangerous/sets/7 ...
Another gallery here... I hear it was real nice this year! - someone1489, on 05/06/2008, -2/+3One of the most relevant artists of today.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1nice

- PDAIsAOk, on 05/06/2008, -1/+2Mr. Babyman has been posting a lot of pictures lately. His posts consistently have less and less substance. Cheers to dumbing down Digg MrBabyMan
- Austin7687, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Wow, this goes to show that Banksy isn't the only talented stencil artist out there!
- fribhey, on 05/06/2008, -1/+2what you meant to say is that they are the only 10 banksy pieces you've seen. if you've actually seen more then what's been posted on a blog then you wouldn't think those are his 10 best pieces.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1hes a ***** amazing artist.
- MrFisty, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1At the risk of sounding like I'm coming in late to a very obvious joke, "Cans Festival" did make me laugh.
Some cool work in there. Maybe the nay-sayers would think differently of graffiti and street art if there were more of this around the streets. - o0mirage0o, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Makes me wish I was artistically talented...
- tarquell, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1i went on saturday at 10am, and also again on monday afternoon to see the developments at the public end. Lots of fairly weak advertising and political crap, but bags of talent. loved it.
- youdlike2know, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Lined up for 2 hours on Saturday to see this... bloody well worth it, show of the century is right.. I was truly moved by this show, makes a change from the usual pseudo-intelligent modern art ***** you find in most galleries
- StuartTaylor, on 05/06/2008, -5/+6I met Banksy in the street in Brighton many years ago and told him how much i liked his stencil street works. This was before his fame. He was a nice guy. Since then he made his fame and i lived in Shoreditch for many years surrounded by his work, i also had the privilege of meeting his agent and worked for a high end gallery interested in his work. Bottom line is that as much as his work is pleasing, and i say that from a personal perspective, it is not anything more than that. It engages in very little and caters to a mass populous without really engaging in anything. It is just pretty, sudo-political nonsense. digg me down if you like, but i know you will find much more interesting work if you are truly interested in art.
- jamesong14, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1awesome art gallery!!
http://artboxs.com - PaulRay, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Yeah, me too. I was about to "correct" the poster, but luckily went to look first. :oP
I am so impressed with Banksy as well as the many artists he's inspired. - fribhey, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1it's really nice but it wasn't done by banksy
- PaulRay, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1you
- Markpdotcom, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Its just to even out the times he's submitting paid stories to digg.
- sammydeath, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1These are not all banksy, if anything I think this event was created to show there are a lot of artists around that do a similar style to banksy, but have not had the coverage and luck as much as he has. The other artists work is just as good, but never really placed in such open places such as the locations in London. Since being recognized every toff and art fag that reads the dreaded daily mail or times now trys to be hip and think his work is “cool” and spend ridiculous amounts on similar prints on canvas.
I just wish that everyone including the media would not brand anyone who either picks up a can of Montana or makes any form of street art a “wannabe banksy” Graffiti and street art has been around for ages worldwide, he just exposed it to the right crowd and made money from it. Props to him for that.
One last thing I think is amazing, is how he`s been “getting up” ie painting at the spots he has done and without being noticed. Not only are these in high visability areas, he`s got a 7ft piece of cardboard and a bunch of cans with him, which are ***** noisy!
Its quite funny and ironic how his art is actually performed without peoples permission and is actually illegal, yet if u got a bansky piece made on your building, you could literally sell it for a couple hundred thousand.
Isnt it great how the 4th branch of the government aka the media can work to some peoples advantage… - lumargin, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1freaking awesome.....was in london this weekend and missed it :( hope it will still be on display next weekend.
