A picture of a guy with a spray can. There have been several pictures of different guys with spray cans. I really don’t understand how this can remain a mystery if so many people are interested. It’s 2008 and he does work in well-populated areas.

That’s not a young Banksy on the pic, that’s Harry Potter! (Who knew he WAS related to Weasley’s after all!)

I used to be a really big fan of his work, but after I found out he basically charges thousands for spreads for corporations despite his whole FUCK DA MAYNE stance, I lost a lot of respect for him.

“And the mail’s proof is?”

I refuse to believe it. I want Banksy to remain a mystery.
