For those of you who don’t know, Blek le Rat is a famous stencil artist, and arguable the main inspiration of Banksy which he has even said himself. Thanks to SteetArtLocator, Nuart and Leased Ferrari who all spotted this video of Blek le Rat talking about Banksy
Spotted a great little video on Vimeo today entitled ‘Please Love Me – 10 Years of Banksy’ which covers exhibition in July this year at in Londons Covent Garden.

Banksy has announced another print to be released shortly via Pictures On Walls. The print entitled “No Ball Games”, is of two children (Jack and Jill) throwing around a paving slab with the slogan written on it on it. Two editions have been created with a green version available online and a grey version available in store. These prints will be available from December 12th.
The Daily Mail is today running a piece on a wall, removed by builders, in order to save Banksy’s art from graffiti artists! The pice, known as Large Graffiti Slogan, depicts a punk with a mohican haircut reading an instruction booklet beside a cardboard box emblazoned with ‘IEAK Large Graffiti Slogan’, was unfortunately vandalised by graffiti artitsts which has complete ruined it…
