Hello let me introduce myself. My name is:

During my earthly wanderings I take this bodily form:

But I assure you. There is more to me than meets the eye. I wander between the realms of

and

This saga will continue, but for now in the words of Marie-Antoinette:

Indeed. I have Banksy's book: wall and piece with me. Its very good. Plus the hoodie/knife one. That is in the famous waterloo tunnel in London which I have frequented many times.


hmm when I looked at those images locations they were all made by Bansky so in other words these are all remakes of his work then?I am going to look at more of his work real quick...Also Fire Fly its nothing personal,its just that this site has had some issues with people stealing art before so I guess it is something that some people are a bit careful about.

I saw the death one in waterloo tunnel actually. It was in the yellow and blue as well as being the other way round and more detailed. Perhaps that was an imitation.

I was not completely aware of that. I do say that all the ones I copied I had seen mainly around London and especially waterloo tunnel which has tons of the stuff.

I will not post any more work that is unoriginal, I was unaware it was against the rules.

Here is the link to the book wall and piece.

Either way I'm sure we can both agree that this is either a tracing, by mind or by hand, but either way, if you've seen it before and tried to draw it, I recommend you give credit to the artist, or else it could really damage both your status and reputation here.

The rat was by mind, the hoodie by mind, the death and hunt by hand.

I thought we'd already clarified the hunt was redrawn?

I didn't see that post until after I had posted it,and you never said its name before that to my knowledge.So i guess thats all said and done,but what about the others?

OK what about the dragon that you submitted into teh art competition.That is probably the most important one,because you entered it into a contest.

No, I don't believe you are telling the truth. The similarity in deatail is just to great for the rat and hoodie to be by mind. Yes, there are also some differences. But the hoods both have the exact same shading. As well as the blood dripping the exact same way. Coincidence? No.

The rat, care to tell me how you made the dollars falling from the briefcase identical? Besides where it would be hard to trace anyway... As well as with the text on the rat, the blood splotches in the same spots with the same formations in every place? No one has that good of a memory. Along with the curves in the L, and the place where the lines cross in the K.

Your story isn't strong enough.

The knife is in a different place, the shading itself is in many other places very different.

As for the rat, I sketched the rat in NYC, not just now. It is an old sketch.
