Yeah, hes superb. I've seen lots of his stuff online, and both concept wise and artistically, hes got the gift.

Heh, working in Bristol, you see classic Banksy every day (indeed, he's sprayed his name on a bridge over the M32 as you enter Bristol).
I like his rats and things, but my favourite is his "Mild, mild west", featuring a teddy-bear about to chuck a molotov at riot police...

Yea, the stuff on the Israeli wall is excellent. This is the first I've heard of him, seems to have a gift for making pretty profound statements with a picture.

From the looks of it:
The helicopters are obviously fake, and there is two of them. One has a boe tie and the other does not, and the one without the boe tie is behind the one with.
So what I get out of this picture is that the pink boe tie on the manly machine in front is actually gay. Signifying (that like all male artist) he's gay and thinks that the male population that is gay will rule the work in two more years.

I always liked Banksy's art.... Don't care about those who call him a sell-out.

Never heard of him before now, but I like what I've seen.
Also found it interesting that this work:
appears to be very heavily influenced by Vaughn Bode, something I've not seen before. I miss The Yellow Hat.
