And now he's been awarded as Britain's Greatest Living Artist or some ****. The ****test thing is, I'm worried that he may actually BE our greatest living artist, and that's upsetting, because he's ****.

Someone cheer me up by showing me some better art by living British chicks and dudes.

I used to love Banksy, before he was BANSKY... now his stuff's going for millions of pounds at auction, I just feel let down really. He seemed so anti-establishment, and he's basically just selling out.

I think I could've seen his stuff and found it kinda funny, but beyond that it's just banale. Charlie Brooker agrees with me (again):

Banksy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i like Banksy and used him as a motif in my screenplay.
I agree that he has been commodified but is this not one of the problems in our modern society?
People claim that he sold out, but was he not really bought out. Banksy is a victim of the system he rebells against. When people with money agree with the anti-estabishment movement then they make it part of the establishment. The tide of change against the war in England had a lot to do with his sudden rise in popularity. not really his fault
