Yes, Banksy is faking a coma as Robbo while he continues his work. While in a fucking coma.

[–]Sergnb 0 points1 point ago

Have you seen any pictures or actual trustful information about Robo being in a coma, tho?

For all I know it could perfectly be a lie and nobody could say shit about it

[–]Rogued 5 points6 points ago

Definitely not. I assumed a fake. But I see i'm mistaken. So that's why Banksy paints so many rats... to get the authorities off his tail.

That explains the obsession with mice.

[–]humenbean 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

a TIL for some of you, he stole the mice from another street artist before his time. The original artist has actually taken Banksy stealing a lot of his work quite well.

[–]nikonikojin 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

and his name was Blek Le Rat

[–]humenbean 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yea, thanks for that. I was between phone calls and forgot to update the name.

[–]smarchweather 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah. It annoys me when kids rave about Banksy and they don't even know the OG.

[–]wallychamp 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To be fair, neither Banksy nor Blek coined the "rat race" or "political rat" motif that they both regularly use. I'm far from a Banksy fan-boy, but to say he "stole the mice" from Blek is like saying Whitney Houston stole the love song from Buddy Holly. It's simply a common image/metaphor in the Anarcho-Punk Street Art vocabulary.

[–]surfnaked 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I believe Rick Griffen was using some iconic rats in the '60s, but of course you could say it's all Walt's fault.

[–]smarchweather -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, but you can take from one place, and inject it into another medium. That's okay. It gets shitty when you derive from someone that's right next to you. For example, comedies making jokes about movies that are already funny. Hey, mother fuckers, it's not funny when you parody something that's already comedic in nature.

[–]NoeCug 1 point2 points ago

Blek Le Rat, french street artist.

[–]lurker818 -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you can show me one of the images that Banksy supposedly stole would be great. Like an actual instance where Banksy reproduced a Blek le Rat image and called it his own. I agree the style is very alike and "rats" were used but there was no actual "Copying" of any images that I have been able to discover thus far.

In Banksy defense he has given permission to people (like me) to use his images for various purposes as long as they are not selling it or using it for a business purpose. He really is a nice guy and is supportive of other artists.

[–]humenbean 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, he did not physically steal one of the rats off a wall and say it was his. Although that would be funny. I am a bit of a critic though when it comes to taking someone's work, changing a few things, and saying it is your own. And as far as I am concerned tagging is calling it your own.

To me it is more of a case of Led Zeppelin. Yes a few words were changed here or there, and the instrumental use, but it is blatantly from another source and slightly modified for self promotion.

Also if it was only the rats that were similar the argument would be a dude, but that isn't the case.

If you show 99.99% of the world a Blek piece and ask someone who did it they would say Banksy! If you said no, he didn't do that, they would probably reply, who stole his technique!?

Am I the only one who likes both of them? For christ sake, they both make amazing art. One is not better then the other, they just have different styles.

[–]Timboflex 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Robbo and his fans have no room for criticizing Banksy, considering Robbo himself A.) Initiated whatever conflict he's imagined there is between them, and B.) is trying as hard as he can to become the same kind of "sellout" he calls Banksy by doing gallery sales and movie promos.
