1, A print show in a New York gallery that is completely unauthorised and unlikely to worth visiting !.

2, A painting show in a Bethlehem chicken shop that is fully authorised (but still unlikely to be worth visiting)

The NY show I would want to see. Send me PV Tickets and Flights x2 please. Otherwise I await to photos like everyone else.

The Bethlehem show. If this is about Jesus and Religion then I have lost faith in the Mighty Banksy. Place a child with a "drawing" pencil in one of these countries and they would do the same thing.

Lets look at all the work so far:

Early years: Gritty, Needed, Wanted, Masterpieces.
Middle of the road (he is becoming famous): New direction, Propaganda and Mass Media, Governments etc...
NOW: Reversal of culture... (I will explain)

What I mean by the reversal of culture is this. Say you take a photo of Hitler, one of the most evil men in mankind's history. You put him in a dress giving children sweets. THIS IS CALLED REVERSAL. Say you have a photo of addam Hussein. Ok, you REVERSE this with him Hanging George Bush/Blair (who cares) with his hand on the leaver. THIS IS AGAIN REVERSAL.

Give a child a photo of someone and ask "how can we make fun of this person, what shall we do?" - I bet something along the lines of Banksy's work will come from the child's/teenagers mouth.

This is getting boring now. Bring me on board and I will give you a few ideas for work... I have tons of journals awaiting to be broken in. I will work for only a few grand a week at most. :P

Be Well Team. Much Love.
William...

PS: I do not hate Banksy. I love his work I adore what he has done for culture and the art world. I just do not think he is working hard enough on his ideas. I mean what would you do if you went into a gallery and viewed the same paintings/prints over and over again. (Oppps, Shit: WARHOL!!!) .. Joking aside, he is an amazing talent. What fucks me up is him getting lost in the midst...
