http://images.yoshisisland.net/banksy.jpg - Bkkgnar, on 06/12/2009, -9/+48Banksy is cool.
- jessemoya, on 06/13/2009, -3/+37If I knew Banksy's identity I would tell absolutely no one. The man (?) is an absolute legend and I hope he keeps making art for decades to come.
- papashawn, on 06/13/2009, -4/+36A photo slideshow of Banksy, with teeeeeeeeeeeeny little pictures.
you suck, cnn.com. - novicechap, on 06/13/2009, -3/+34"You paint a hundred chimpanzees and they call you a guerilla artist"
- doublefelix, on 06/13/2009, -5/+34Sounds like an awesome exhibit. They should let him run wild in the Louvre for 6 months and have a contest to see who can spot the changes.
- bonarez, on 06/13/2009, -3/+27there is no measure on the coolness of Banksy
Some more pics for y'all:

- r0ji, on 06/13/2009, -6/+14The chimpanzee painting is amazing. They seem more human even than the ministers.
- teddyrux, on 06/13/2009, -0/+7Upvoted for a few reasonably sized photos.
- ryanonfire, on 06/14/2009, -0/+7I like how everything in his shop http://www.banksy.co.uk/shop/ is free :D
- makkaveli19, on 06/13/2009, -2/+8holy ***** those were good.
- M00nshield, on 06/13/2009, -0/+6even his quotes are thought provoking
- xakaxunknownx, on 06/14/2009, -0/+5Very very fair. Sorry to bug you. Unfortunately, most of my readers are not as technologically skilled as your average digg user and don't otherwise realize that they can subscribe to the site. Seriously, before I put that message there, people asked me pretty often how to subscribe.
- orville1151, on 06/13/2009, -0/+5If you can get those walls out of there, you can retire.
- inactive, on 06/13/2009, -1/+5He's made an entire career out of being "clever". He's the Oscar Wilde of contemporary art.
- doublebummer, on 06/14/2009, -0/+4You're spot on. He's kind of the Britney Spears of the art world.
- Hellicus, on 06/13/2009, -3/+7I think Banksy is a really cool guy, eh paints chimpanzees and doesn't afraid of anything.
- MarkOfTheDead, on 06/14/2009, -1/+5Whiny people who don't understand art=Annoying
- thePTS, on 06/13/2009, -2/+6Dugg for Banksy.
Also, because I first thought this was about Boxxy. - avatarpalin, on 06/14/2009, -0/+4No his name is Nigel and lives in Halifax..
- essjay, on 06/13/2009, -1/+5Downvoted because I had to click through a stupid subscribe pop-up. I mean, really? Why would I want to subscribe to your site *before* I've actually read anything on it? Shame, I'm sure it was a fascinating review, I just won't be reading it.
- t0x2c, on 06/13/2009, -1/+4Hmmm... I'm going to say the toilets are now rainbow... and... there's a mural the size of half the louvre in the front enterance.
- fakeXsound, on 06/13/2009, -1/+4"Surprise?" This was announced almost a week ago...
- nuketrap, on 06/14/2009, -1/+4Banksy is awesome, I wish I could go to that exhibition.
- nickkuk, on 06/14/2009, -0/+3The shows location was announced yesterday, but a teaser flyer has been on Banksys website for almost a week and there have been rumours on the Banksy forums that there was going to be a summer show somewhere in Bristol for a few weeks now.
fakeXsound is right that this was announced by Banksy almost a week ago. - jesusisapanda, on 06/14/2009, -0/+3... when you have a show, you don't have to physically be there, you can have other people set everything up via the artists instructions. alot of contempary artist don't even see their works until someone else completes it and sets it up. so i'll pick you being gay, or just dumb or just ill informed .
- drchimp, on 06/14/2009, -0/+3Nice to see that Banksy finally realized that chimpanzees don't have tails.
http://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ ... - vexxefx, on 06/15/2009, -0/+3indeed. guys, look into basquiat or keith haring. now those were some talented fellows in a similar vein. banksy's work is too obvious, i feel. ok, it's graffiti art, but who says graffiti can't be more than basic commentary/
- doublebummer, on 06/14/2009, -0/+3I like his art work because it doesn't make me think very hard. Nice and shallow, just the way I like it.
- septicmadman, on 06/13/2009, -0/+3That quote is from the article. The response you suggest he reply to (by novicechap I'd assume) was one minute before his, it was likely intended to be independent, especially considering he included the quote.
- masterc, on 06/14/2009, -1/+3Apology required.
I'm sorry. - inactive, on 06/13/2009, -3/+5best artist ever
- thePTS, on 06/13/2009, -0/+2And even his thoughts are quotable!
- eatasandwich, on 06/14/2009, -0/+2@taikyoken: Fair point, I guess I simply don't value valuable contributions to the art world that highly. However, I see better ideas online than I see Banksy come up with. He's simply famous. His ideas less so.
@desfahanian:
@enantiodromis: I'm a troll because I disagree with something now? - syphern, on 06/13/2009, -3/+5Banksy owes me rent money! Mofo painted all over my walls when he was a student and ran off half way in his contract!
- MWeather, on 06/14/2009, -0/+2"Unfortunately, most of my readers are not as technologically skilled as your average digg user and don't otherwise realize that they can subscribe to the site. Seriously, before I put that message there, people asked me pretty often how to subscribe."
Hasn't your bounce rate gone through the roof? - LiquidIse, on 06/14/2009, -0/+2For shame.
- EtHaa0b, on 06/14/2009, -0/+2WTF?!
- desfahanian, on 06/14/2009, -1/+3u = dick
- desfahanian, on 06/14/2009, -0/+2yeah his name is robin gunningham
- inactive, on 06/14/2009, -0/+2"Every time I think I've painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek Le Rat has done it as well, only twenty years earlier" .... Bansky
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blek_le_Rat - xakaxunknownx, on 06/14/2009, -0/+2I was worried about the bounce rate too, but it hasn't been hurt too much.
- rolf, on 06/14/2009, -0/+1Maybe he has us all fooled, and "he" is a she ;)
- CarStan, on 06/14/2009, -1/+2i'm hope Hollywood will make a movie about him, it will be awesome
- vexxefx, on 06/13/2009, -5/+6probably the least complex artist out there. fun stuff, nice commentary but not nearly as deep as his modern contemporaries
- enantiodromia, on 06/14/2009, -0/+1yeah, he should just troll online comment threads instead, that's where the real talent goes these days.
- desfahanian, on 06/14/2009, -0/+1y dont u go eat a dick eatasandwich.
- desfahanian, on 06/14/2009, -0/+1do u mean boxi
- Laughingman42, on 06/13/2009, -5/+6I learned of Banksy when lived in London for a few months in college. His work is everywhere, and he seems to strive for meaning over quantity in a serious way. Very thought provoking work, he is my favorite modern artist.
