This struck me as an emotive, novel and stylish approach to street art. The text is a bit crude but they were produced at different times by (I assume) different artists. The script came first.

There's a great London (now worldwide) street artist called Banksy. I'm pretty sure this is his work - though his more popular work is a bit more...controversial :)

Here's a link: //www.banksy.co.uk/

Check out his "outdoor" gallery. It's really amazing :)

Anyway, very very nice capture, and yay for the BBC Photos feature!! I always keep an eye on their site. I think photos from individuals and their world is way better than what's portrayed in mainstream media.

Cheers,
Katy

I think it's awesome and I agree with the message as well. Street art is an avenue all it's own and you chose to go down it and capture it with creativity. Way to go.

Yes, it is Banksy - he's quite busy in our area!

I believe the child with the balloon is the work of Banksy.
