The size of the camp is shocking, been a lot of camps there before but this one is huge

Looks like he's been a busy boy. Liking the refugee boat. Steve jobs looks like a jps stencil.
What does the orange writing say on the bridge wall? Can't see it on my phone.

Placement of the boat one is great, with the horizon.

It's pretty ironic that if one or several of these refugee's works out how to cut that Steve Jobs piece out, they would probably never have a housing problem ever again. Visa maybe, home not a chance..

The photos too of helpers or migrants too. Anyway, it seems great to have done this in Calais ( i Know well this Town ) , at two days of the French elections : Marine Le Pen, from the National Front was first there ( with 40% of vote ) but hopefully she will loose Sunday because of the left party giving their voice to the Right party. It should be a catastrophe if - we never know - she wins ( but she won't ). Anyway, Will French municipality will remove this Banksy ? Under Perspex ? I am perplexed... |

Imagine. You live in relative squalor, desperate to be able to relocate to the UK, then people from the UK turn up to come and look at the art in and around your camp.

Great pieces and great concept and work. I like the jobs piece and actually think it's the most relevant and the most powerful of them all by a long way.
Think the critical art eye whether right or wrong is completely missing the point and concept of the piece for me that piece is Banksy at his best. What was one of the worlds most powerful clever and design geniuses as a refugee carrying his belongings and an apple. Absolutely spot on
Never mind whether the Mac screen size is accurate to his leg length.
Technically could have been done by loads of people.........conceptually not a chance that's why Banksy is Banksy!!!

The Steve Jobs, regardless of execution which is irrelevant, bother me as another example as "did you know this great guy was Syrian / Muslim / Arab / whatever….".
The intent may be good but it is just fodder for the fascists, such fallacious reasoning to point out that "there may be a good guy in the lot"
The two other pieces are fucking great. So powerful…The medusa & yacht remind me of the tilted painting at Dismaland by the pond
The photos of the camp, well, let's just say this has been going on in France, anyone taking the tunnel drives past it. No one gives a fuck. We treat animals better than we do these people…

Absolutely! This is not about how well the stencil is cut or scale it's so much more than that ,and as someone else said it is what makes Banksy so fucking special |

I don't know if these latest works will attract tourist, but just in case anyone's planning to pop over with their camera, perhaps take some spare blankets, basic first-aid stuff or toys (no war stuff)?
