I like your idea of doing something in (for?) Dorset though.<br /><br />As for the anonymity, I guess it's about having the freedom to say exactly what he wants in the way he wants to do it. I also suspect there's excitement in doing it in such closely guarded places like the Wall and getting away with it. It's ironic though how something so anti-establishment is considered to be so mainstream though. I was talking to my friend who works for Bournemouth council (the person I met up with after you at Poundbury) last night. She told me that the cleaning department hate it when Banksy gets attention in the media as it means a big upswing in the amount of graffiti they have to deal with in the town.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-16948849324416884442009-07-30T13:13:55.883+01:002009-07-30T13:13:55.883+01:00So jealous, I love Banksy and couldn't believe...So jealous, I love Banksy and couldn't believe it when I heard about this event on the news, way back.

Clearly Dorset has some catching up to do. Somerset already has a Valentine Lampost in Frome. (Though I don't think Banksi did that.) (It's not really his style.)<br /><br />Esther<br /><br />P.S. Did you come to understand the 'anonimity' side of this better? I mean, he painted on the Wall in Israel - hardly a place where one might not be noticed.Esther Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412078991551799972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-26362086424744391212009-07-30T03:32:16.998+01:002009-07-30T03:32:16.998+01:00I had never heard of Banksy until I read about him...I had never heard of Banksy until I read about him on Maggie May's blog several weeks ago.
