New Banksy piece!

Me & Rich have scampered back here quickly to claim this bad boy first (we think we saw Newspaper people writing about it outside on the way, so we wanna beat them to it!)

It's on our street aswell (in Bristol), Park Row, just opposite BRI hospital!

Just been informed from a friend in 'the know' that this was painted Sunday night!

@i y e r s: Yeah it must have been last night I reckons, that's why the newspaper-looking people were standing outside it, i reckons!

The dude who owns the building must be rubbing his hands with glee!!

Children's Hospital has reportedly sent an email to his website asking if they can auction it off. It should stay right where it is. It would make far more sense to donate proceeds from prints.

I walk past here everyday and they've got signs up that say something along the lines of "GRAFFITI - Please do not tag on our building it costs us money to remove it and we're a charidee" or something.......oh the irony!

Innit! And the irony increases if malfeseance is on the ball re: them wanting to sell it.

Gratz Jamfactory btw, for seeing it first!

Well seen and well done for getting there before the rest of the world, I only live up the hill and had to resist the urge to cause a one man stampede and take every type of funky film I have to get a shot. I'm hoping it won't be going anywhere within the next few days at least so that I can do that when it isn't tanking it down with rain!

I think this one is fabulous and the irony of it being so close to the childrens hospital is sublime...

The yoof of today eh? ;)

another classic! big up the bankster. I was getting worried that he had succumbed to his celebrity status and stopped tagging the streets - its amazing that people are getting excited and want to aution off the wall or something because he has sprayed it!

My email was overloaded with 'flickr activity' emails this morning, awesome!

Right then, question time...

@Rubicon228: Yeap it's my street in Bristol, on Park Row, literally opposite the BRI hospital, on the side of a pub / restaurant wall 1 story up!

@myfear: ahhhhh, front page of explore, that would explain the number of hits then, wooo!

@Hyaground: yeah dude def, i really like this piece, really glad to see he's still doing his thing, just a much wider audience appreciating it and getting hyped on it, which is always nice!

@Trapac: Nice one, yeah get out there and get snapping, im sure it wont be going anywhere for a while yet, hope you get some good snaps!

@Lord Kronington: I dont *think* we get a prize but 2,000+ views to my flickr is more than enough for me!!

Thanks everyone for your comments!!!

pixelmatrix: it's art.

But, there's something to point out:
he's aiming with the right eye and shooting with the left hand.
And the machine gun is on his shoulder and not on his chest, and the sniper's elbow is too low.

oh, and I hate guns :)
