BANKSY

Banksy is a British street artist from Bristol. Whilst he is maybe most famous for his street based stencil graffiti work he has also put on a wide variety of shows in unusual locations, released a film 'Exit Through The Gift Shop' and conducted many well publicised pranks such as the re-branding of Paris Hilton's CD in record stores throughout the UK. This site features a collection of over 600 unique photos of his work but it's not his 'official' website, if you want that go to banksy.co.uk. 

If you are new to this site and want to see all the Banksy pictures one by one start here but be warned - its going to take a while! Otherwise just use the links on the far right to view individual  picture galleries including street work, exhibitions and other appearances.

BANKSY LOCATIONS MAP The best available guides to Banksy's London locations are Martin Bull's 'Banksy Locations and Tours' books volume 1 and Volume 2 but if you've only got limited time and want to be sure that the graffiti will be there when you get there then try these locations in London marked on the Art Of The State Banksy Locations Map.

Feel free to get in contact with any questions you have about the Banksy images on these pages. I'm always interested in reports of new pieces. If you have any specific question about Banksy I suggest reading my FAQ's first.

Please note that you cannot buy printed copies of the Banksy images on this site. Budding entrepreneurs should also not use them to launch a new business on Ebay or anywhere else for that matter, thanks.
