Who is Blek le Rat?

Dean wrote:

Yeah, as well as a stencil artist who does have a show in SF, currently. That's why some are saying "it's not Banksy."

On the other hand, Banksy does sometimes travel to do his thing for no other reason, and the works definitely look like his. The "dripping gold brick" even more than the stencils IMHO.

Where are these Banksys exactly, does anyone know any leads? I might try and view them while in SF next week.

Has anyone seen the film yet? It's getting good reviews it seems. Gonna try to catch it this weekend. Anyone else hunt down all the Banksy pieces yet? I sent my friend out with her nice camera and tripod yesterday. Here are all the locations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj-MRxK8TiM Pics by EV. Edited by Moi.

Yes, we went when it opened here in Boston and the theater was packed and it made a very shitty week a whole lot better. I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, although snobs might say otherwise, I thought it was well done and funny. And it made me hate another artist quite a bit, but I digress...

that's a pretty cool video. i caught it last weekend, definitely worth seeing. afterwards i ran around town with a friend trying to capture the one on howard and the other one in the mission ("...look nice framed..." piece) with my g9. it was a bit of a challenge cause it was around 10pm and thankfully the lighting was ok with a little help from the camera as well.

My wife and I saw the film this weekend, and I highly recommend it! Although some people seem to think that the film itself is a prank, fiction or not, it's a great story and it's told well. The footage of these guys climbing up on rooftops and doing their paste-ups is great, especially when real things happen, like a foot slips and shit goes crashing down. It's also fun to see the art. Go see it. It's better than hollywood crap.

This is a Banksy, right? It's Ashton Kutcher's Twitter background. And no, I don't wanna discuss how ended up on Kutcher's twitter page..

Good point.! what makes you think he is not real? i remember the obey site promoting his LA show and i was wondering... "who the hell is this? why is he being hyped?" and he also did the cover of the madonna album. personally I am not a fan.
