Some nice pieces here:

The wall of Lenins would be nice in the front room! Also like the Mickey Mouse and Poodle ones, not seen them for a while.

I kick myself daily about the banksy's I did not buy...

I sometimes work for an agency in Bristol and one of the guys there bought loads of Banksy stuff years ago. Needless to say he's sitting pretty on a paper-based goldmine!

Bristol is wicked. Lived there since '96 and just moved out as needed somewhere bigger and wanted to have kids out of the city. Got a couple of prints which went up loads in value but really kick myself about not buying some of the canvases I saw going for a couple of hundred quid that are now worth 10's of thousands

Got a few nice bits though so mustn't grumble. One of the prints I have went for something like £11k at Bonhams last month but this was way over the odds for it, usually goes for £1-1.5K on ebay. Not bad seeing as it cost me £35! I have it framed and on the wall here and would not want to part with it though.

He's really clever but maybe a bit hyprocritical. All the attack of money making brands and corporations, but what has he become now? A money making corporation.

That tesco bag one is on the side of a chemist in Islington, the guy who owns it must be chuffed to bits because there's always people out there taking photos and stuff. I wonder if you can sell bits of wall?

Thats such a difficult one...but probably the "What are you looking at" he stenciled in front of a security camera, that made me howl with laughter.
