Just admire in awe and collect JPEGs, etc. I think he's friggin excellent, tbh. Owning a Banksy can be a bit dodgy I read recently, as it's difficult to prove authenticity. There's a good book of his works in Waterstones, btw. Absolute respect to his art work.

yeah, I'm very much into street art... graffiti, stencils, stickering, urban calligraphy etc. Also some of the designer toys are very cool.

I've got a small collection of signed screen prints from Shepard Fairey (aka Obey Giant) and David Kinsey (kinseyvisual.com)

I wouldn't say I like all spray can street art, some of it can be tacky and a bit of an eyesore, afterall would you want it on the side of your own house? I like Banksy as he's more of a graphic artist/designer and taps into topical subjects with satirical latent messages behind his work and not just a typical street graffiti type artist.

street 'art' or urban 'art' is pretty unique in Belfast

Would post 'images' but not sure if it will offend anyone, albeit our murals are tourist 'attractions'

ok here we go, I have tons of these bloody images because my former job required that I photograph all of them along the arterial routes in the city. I'll just put up two - one from each side - I'm very PC

The one above is Bobby Sands and its on the Falls Road

sorry I see I have fucked up the sizing

I'm also happy to give tours if anyone is interested

(for a small fee)
