Been a lot of buzz about an old but only just released Banksy image. In case you’re not aware Banksy is the famous graffiti artist from Bristol in the UK.

Armoured Peace Dove - it can be found on a wall in Palestine -  This wall marks the spot where over 40 people were killed during the first Intafada (the little holes along the top are from bullets).

While Banksy was painting it a lot of people came over, some to shake his hand and others telling him to go away. Soon the local MP was called out to calm down the eighty-strong crowd that had built up (by which time Banksy had left and the piece was completed by the local kids).  Its a volley image but very haunting. Works well as a Full Colour Banksy T Shirt - if the design is well reproduced. 

The recent exhibition in Bristol  was a huge success and got everyone talking about the enigma that is Banksy and it looks like his popularity is not waning anytime soon.

The exhibition saw some great new images on display including a controversial one of a woman in traditional Islamic dress wearing an apron showing a semi naked body holding a pan of eggs - How do you like your eggs ? Also one of a rather large couple being pulled by a child in a rickshaw  - once again its Banksy commenting on the capitalist world in his own unique way.

Indeed there is an image of people queuing to buy a t shirt that says destroy capitalism  - he did this in Los Angeles and it was part of an exhibition called barely Legal.
