Your Favourite Banksy

I'm getting my new office soon, and since it's going to be situated in the attic of my house (which has a pitched roof), I'm going to get the roof graffiti-ized by a friend of mine who's been doing it at GCSE. I've seen some of his Banksy copies, and they're pretty good, so I was thinking of getting one side of the roof done with the Tesco flag and the Double-Yellow-Daisy intertwined (since they're both next to pavements/road, it could be done rather nicely) and the other side done with a silhouette of a city all the way up the wall.

So, what's your favourite Banksy?

I like the rat, the Double-Yellow-Daisy and the Tesco flag.

Double yellow daisy is very cool also.

I like this one though. It's very moving : http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/12_01/17banksyES_468x606.jpg

That's another one of my favourites I like how they're very witty and sharp, yet they also deliver a message. Kids saluting a makeshift flag, or future generations bowing before an overlord? Buy'n'Large (wall-e) comes to mind.

Does your friend do his own graffiti art? I wouldn't get a Bansky copy for the sake of having a Bansky copy. if he's a good artist it would be more interesting to have an original drawing by him

That's for another time When I get the room re-papered (when I can afford it, I'm paying for the entire redecoration of the room including a laminate floor, desks, paint and materials) I'm going to see what he can do. Otherwise, I was also considering having one half a Banksy murial, and the other half (or side-of-roof) for him to do his thing.

And yes, he's a very good graffiti artist. He was paid by our school to do graffiti on the entrances to the Art corridor and the Music corridor, and I must say they're very striking and unusual
