melfeasance (a group admin) says: 13 Jun 09 - After smuggling his own works into the Louvre, the Tate and four major New York museums, Banksy said:
"My sister inspired me to do it. She was throwing away loads of my pictures one day and I asked her why. She said 'it's not like they're going to be hanging in the Louvre.' I thought why wait until I am dead?"
Banksy, alive and kicking and now very well hung in Bristol's City Museum and Art Gallery through 31st August 2009.

Rules is Rules
All it takes to be in this group is an interest in Banksy.
All it takes to stay in this group is the ability to play well with others.
Discussion
Everyone is encouraged to add their tuppenceworth as long as it relates to Banksy.
Dissent is fine, but malicious, disruptive and intolerant comments will not be tolerated. If there's one thing we can't tolerate it's intolerance.
Items for Sale
This is a no-no. No buying and selling of anything, including work by Banksy.
Items for sale and the people who sell them will be tossed out on their ear.
Pool Content
The pool is for photos and videos of work produced and executed by Banksy ONLY.
It is not for work:
- in the style of Banksy
- next to a Banksy
- in the same city as a Banksy
- your rendition of a Banksy
- your Banksy tattoo
- your Banksy mug, fridge magnet or T-shirt
- your friend, relative, or pet answering to the name Banksy
Banksy?
If within a reasonable amount of time, after a reasonable amount of discussion, we are still unable to determine whether your submitted item is actually by Banksy (read: haven't got a clue) we will ask you to add it to our annex for safe keeping. This is not a snub, it is a very highly honourable and extremely elite organisation (read: utter misfits).
Please Note
Items other than work executed by Banksy will not be accepted in the pool.
Those who repeatedly ignore group rules will be notified, removed, banned and beheaded.
This group is moderated round-the-clock. Deliberate attempts to disrupt or destroy will be reported to Flickr as they occur.
Disclaimer
Please base your art appraisals on us at your own risk.
What do we know? Nothing. (Keep it quiet.)
Thank you
We sincerely appreciate your cooperation in upholding these standards to make this group enjoyable for everyone. Thanks to you, we have become one of the largest and most visited sites on the Internet dedicated to and documenting the erratic behaviour of Banksy. We are all up for knighthood in early 2075.
