You don't say?

Spotted last weekend on the Thames Embankment. A somewhat redundant warning, I would have thought?

Agreed, I would have to say that is someones idea of art.

You're probably right. But when it comes to guerrilla street art it doesn't get much better than Banksy.

Thanks for the link Alan. I had never heard of him but his art is truly inspiring. Bookmarked it for when I am upset at "the man"!

No idea if its real or not, but this was to be found not 5m from my front door.

Some *tard decided to graffiti it though

Great Alan. I wonder if those "caution cones" are in brail too?

igor

nice one boo
you realize that the photo could easily be photoshop? a pretty good photoshop at that, but there are clues. like the usual "picture of the stick guy falling down" is not visible be hind the stream of water (a little convinient,dont you think?), even though the edges of the picture would show on the sides of the water stream. plus, this looks to be shot somewhere in asia, and alan lives in the UK, so i dont think he shot the photo himself. and, if it was in asia, why would the caution cone be in english? i'll examine it closer and post more.

did you take a picture of this yourself, alan, or did you find it on the interweb?

oh, and btw, LOL

remus

that mde me laugh, sorry igor

Woah, slow down Sherlock.
I took the photo myself last Sunday. That's London Bridge in the background.

And Alan didn't even know that his digital camera had an automated build-in PS capable of making post pros in a split second...

igor

all right, i surrender.

...but it still could have been photoshoped.

oh, and to fred in the above post: LOL X2

and it still could have been photoshoped...

Frederik

In fairness I will agree with you Igor...
Some people have incredible artistic skills and very often it's almost impossible to see if it's a real picture or something made in PS...

Any way... It's always good with a healthy laugh...

Guerilla ... Suuuuuuuuuuure. I negotiated with a representative of his 2 years ago. Above all, Mr. Banksy's an entrepreneur.
