Banksy Exposed?
The Mail on Sunday claims to have uncovered the identity of guerrilla artist Banksy. On the basis of flimsy circumstantial evidence, it says Banksy is Robin Gunningham, a former public schoolboy educated at Bristol Cathedral School. Coxsoft Art doesn't believe a word of it, but read the article for yourself (title link). In a separate story, The Mail records a two-year prison sentence handed down to graffiti gang leader Andrew Gillman (CLICK). Love the judge's comment: "I have seen some examples of your handiwork and they show considerable talent in the field known as graffiti sub-culture that is on its way to be recognised as a valid form of art" (Judge Christopher Hardy). But the criminal damage ran into millions! Hence the two years.

I know - it's not him.
Thanks for the confirmation, Rev. I take it you're Banksy's priest and know all about him.
I'm sure I have a photo of Banksy on my blog, taken by a lady with serious camera tilt, and it's nothing like The Mail photo.
Banksy is Gareth from "The office", when do you people wake up?..
Hi, Lennard
I don't believe that either, but thanks for the chuckle.
