    I love these. I don't think it is vandalism, but everyone is so darned politically correct that someone somewhere is bound to be offended--so the officials have to condemn the art. I think they're great--kinda make you smile, think, or look twice. Cool.

    Wow! I wonder how Banksy completes these without anyone seeing him do it. Stealthy...

    So creative! The city should just hire him so it's not graffiti...

    I think he's brilliant. And makes some social commentary. The cave drawings one is especially apropos of what he is doing.

    There is something about graffiti done right. Love the maid and the camera poking out of the tree.
