found an old interview from "Design Is Kinky" (2002) that I don't recall seeing before: Name: Banksy Age: 27 Location: London URL's: www.banksy.co.ukCan you tell us a little bit about your background? Bristol. Butchery. Booze How did you get into Graffiti? Without thinking about it. Now I think about it I realise what a great fucking deal it is. The only thing that depresses me about graffiti is that pretty much any other art form short of making a feature film, is a step down from here. I don't ever want to stop. What prompted you to begin to use stencils rather than the traditional style spray painting? All the stylistic developments I've ever made have been as a result of trying to evade security systems. The tools, the colours, the message. Also I met my girlfriend at a police roadblock and the police got me my best ever piece of press. So you can't complain really. The imagery is almost always very subversive.... what message are you trying to put across to people? I try and deal with lots of different ideas but I guess the underlying message is always the same - You say the city belongs to you and your laws? Well then how come its got MY name written all over it. What kind of political and social power do you think your images have? I'm here to find out how much power they have. On happier days I think I can change the world, topple corrupt governments and feed the children, but I have a sneaky suspicion that they actually mean fuck all. Have you been arrested or in major trouble because of your work? I have been arrested. But I re-offend. I think that if being arrested stops you then you should never have started in the first place. The beauty of my profession is that I spend so much time worrying about the police I hardly ever get time to think about death. Are all of your images hand drawn or do you use found material to make them up before stenciling? I use whatever it takes. Sometimes that just means drawing a moustache on a girls face on some billboard, sometimes that means sweating for days over an intricate drawing. The efficiency is the key. Do you do any other illustration or graphic design work? Only if I have to. Or it provides an opportunity to meet models. Do you have any new projects coming up soon that you can tell us about? I'm buying a new ladder, which should make for some good new pieces in central London. What do you know about Australian graffiti artists/designers? From what I've seen Australian graffiti is like the classic New York stuff after its had the colour and contrast turned up a notch. ( that means I like it ) Any final comments? A wall is just as good a place to publish as anywhere else Thanks Banksy! |

an old Q&A from the website:
Is it cheating to use stencils?
Stencils are good for two reasons;
One - they’re quick ; two - they annoy idiots.
Why are you such a sell out?
I wish I had a pound for every time someone asked me that.
Is Banksy just a big brand these days? Do you even paint your own pictures?
It’s not supposed to be a brand, which is why people in advertising think it’s such a good one. I paint it all myself unless its illegal, in which case I’ve never seen any of it before, your honour.
Is Exit Through the Gift Shop real?
Yes.
Are you still friends with Mr. Brainwash?
I like to think so. When I asked him what he thought about the film he said “This is a cult movie, this is a classic movie, this movie stands alone – like The Godfather.”
Did you paint over Robbo’s piece and have him beaten up?
His piece in Camden had been dogged for more than five years by the time I painted that spot. It’s a real shame about his accident and I hope he fully recovers. I would never deliberately cuss Robbo – he’s a graffiti legend.
And he’s bigger than me. Click Here
Did you rip off Blek le Rat?
No, I copied 3D from Massive Attack. He can actually draw.
Do you need an intern?
No thanks.
Why are you so annoying?
It’s not all my fault, sometimes they make it up - I’ve never vandalized a war memorial, painted Kate Moss’s kitchen or visited the Playboy club with Ashley Cole wearing a skull mask.
What artists do you rate?
Käthe Kollwitz is my favourite. Partly because her drawing style is so beautiful, and partly because she thought being an artist was self-indulgent crap and became a doctor in an orphanage instead.
Can you donate a picture for my charity auction?
What are you? Blind? In which case maybe. I mostly support projects working to restore sight and prevent eye disease. Or as I like to call it ‘expanding the market’.

There are some of the other artists involved in the pieces posted in this thread. Maybe sɐǝpı ɟo uoıʇɐɹǝpǝɟ can edit the posts to give credit. notbanksyforum.com/post/32527 - first two pieces are both Banksy x Remi Rough notbanksyforum.com/post/32591 - second and third photos are Tes x Kato notbanksyforum.com/post/32903 - second piece down in Banksy x Inkie x Lokey and last photo is Banksy x Kato notbanksyforum.com/post/33392 - both pieces by Kato notbanksyforum.com/post/33963 - last piece is AcerOne x Dice (Dicy) x Paris x Banksy notbanksyforum.com/post/34175 - first photos is Banksy x Inkie x Lokey and last piece is Ekoe/Eco x Paris x Xenz x Dicy x Feek x Banksy notbanksyforum.com/post/34218 - interview is from Design Is Kinky A couple of the pieces are all about their context; so just to fill in the gaps, the diver piece was called 'Who Pulled The Plug On City Hall?' and it was painted on the front of Bristol City Council's main building. It didn't last long but it has always been one of my favourites since then. And the stickman x police piece was on the side of Bridewell Police Station which was the main police station in Bristol. It's long since closed but has had a couple of really interesting shows in the cells; there was a C215 show back in 2009ish.   |
