That is not the point. You are saying it is ok as "you" like it. When he does do a piece on your wall then fine. But some people may not like his style of art and may not want it on their walls. What if I thought a comedy cock with 3 spunk spurts was a fantastic critique on today`s urban living, and the political point it was making whilst not being over the top, has importance to today`s society. Would it be ok for me to put it on your house without your say so?

we are talking about banksy right? that is the subject of the thread? I like dogs, but I dont like stepping in dog s***. I also like t shirts, but i dont like every one that was ever made.

I am not saying that all grafiti is good. People put swastikas on gravestones, or write racial slurs, tag s***, all over trains, that`s not right, but if someone has actually attempted to do something that is good, that is worthy of comment, that isn`t just a crude throw up, that has a bit of style, a bit of a sense of humour and makes a good image, then yeah. in my book it is art.

I would feel bad for someone that had a banksy on their house and didnt like it, but i would advise them to have it specially taken down and then sold.. the banksy that is.. if i caught you drawing a cock on the side of my house you would have a boot on the side of your head.. well not you, you`re alright, but i would expect an apology..

have a read of this.. the people decided maaaan...

So you know, banksy tends to do it in places that are a bit artsy fartsy, shoreditch etc, there people f***ing love it..

of course grafitti is not for everyone., you think it is s***, i think some of it is art... seems fair to me.

You have very strong views on the subject..
you aren`t M Khan are you?

I think some of the stuff he does is good, but what makes you or me the arbiter of what is good? My comedy cock may be fantastic. The people of Shoreditch may love it.

I think you will find that is Fowler, not me. I don`t really like Nesbit.

Bankys cock only has one spunk spurt. Where is the comedy in that?

Err whoot the taste issue would come into it if the thread question was "Banksy - is his art good or bad"

However the question is whther it is art of graffitti.

The facts of it are that if he does not have permission to do it, irrespective of how good it is, it would be graffiti and would be defacing/vandalism to someone`s property (and i;m thinking that would be the case in law and not just my opinion)
If he did it on my house or any piece of my property I am reasonably sure (as I would not have given him permission to do) I could have him prosecuted??


And yes for the record I can confirm that I do like James Nesbitt

agreed.. its not though is it? you made me check the thread title there..
technically, yeah, it is grafitti.. so, yep, you could have him prosecuted.. it would make you a laughing stock though..
