Free Banksy art?

Just seen this on the Londonist, there may still be some of these canvases floating around? Seem to be related to the graffiti artist Banksy

and the origins of the work and a little more info here

Interesting - would be very nice if it is a Banksy!

Certainly would! I'm going to keep my eyes peeled...

If you look on the londonist site you will see that these paintings are by a Banksy imitator and they will be left around London on April Fools Day!

Would love to hear of someone on here getting one! Judging by the site, it seems Bristol will get some free art too

hehe hope there is some free banksy - would be another kick in the balls for a purchaser, what with their work loosing significant value to free copies :P

Free art is what's so good about Banksy I guess, you don't have to pay to go to a gallery or anything, it's just there on the streets

Anyone from here manage to bag one? Seems 200 artworks were given away in total!
