Banksy inspired street art by Norway’s Skurktur
Contributor
The style might be identical to Banksy’s, and in Norway there is this guy who calls himself DOLK. This, however, was made by Skurktur, an art collective based in Trondheim, Norway. Skurktur’s street art is teeming with social commentary and satire, which is in keeping with the M.O. of the great Banksy himself.

Banksy’s street art turned into print ads
Contributor
French art director Christophe Pilate had the interesting idea of taking Banksy’s street art and reinterpreting it in a new and more commercial way. Pilate logically assigned brands to Banksy’s art, creating unique print ads for the corresponding brands. So, do you think Banksy himself would approve?

Reader Find
I recently visited The Wellington Club in the heart of Knightsbridge, London, for a magazine launch in which my artwork was featured. Decorated with original works by Damien Hirst and Banksy, hosted by a DJ who must surely have hijacked my iPod playlist, and designed on themes of decadence, promiscuity and urban rebellion, treading into [...]

Lost Street Art of London: a Lomo series by Gavin Hammond
Contributor
Graffiti and street art have always been transient forms of self-expression. Deemed by many to be mere acts of vandalism, the artists’ work generally exists only for a very short period of time (unless we’re talking Banksy, Bambi or Roa), before being washed away in the next public clean-up.

Notebook comes with pages of public NYC walls
Contributor
Now this is a super neat idea. The Walls Notebook contains not blank pages, but somewhat blank, unblemished walls of New York City that beg for a Banksy or two. Now you can live your graffiti artist ambitions in these pages and doodle away without having to skulk around and stencil by moonlight.

Regardless, this representation of the Queen as the (in)famous Ziggy Stardust appeared on a wall on Upper Maudlin Street, near the Bristol Children’s Hospital, just in time to commemorate Her Majesty’s [...]

Contributor
To commemorate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the magnificently (in)famous Banksy has created, and made available for free download, an exclusive print entitled, appropriately enough, ‘Er…’ It’s available from the Pictures on Walls site with the following directions: ‘An exclusive download for the more ambivalent patriot.
