My favourite Banksy pieces

In order to get a feel of the piece I want to create, I thought i'd put together a collection of my favourite Banksy pieces.

This work adds flair and art to an otherwise run-down looking wall. It creates enjoyment where there would have been negativity.

Funny and quick, on-the fly artwork. Temporary work seems to interest me more, a Banksy piece is of obvious value but by creating a work on such a temporary canvas it immediately makes it worthless to a buyer, which in a way makes it all the more valuable while it is still there.

Clever and funny, it personifies everyday objects and creates characters out of nothing.

Simple, funny and clever

I love the simplicity of this. The quick witted approach is akin to a caption on an everyday scene. It adds a kind of commentary to a real life situation.

Finally, this is a great image of Banksy having his portrait drawn by a street artist.  I like the contradiction that someone so secretive is being so publicly portrayed, but also by wearing the balaclava, he is almost admitting to people who he is. In effect making it much more obvious who he is.
