Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist, and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. Active since the 1990s, his satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world. His work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist and founding member of the musical group Massive Attack.
Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces. He no longer sells photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but his public "installations" are regularly resold, often even by removing the wall on which they were painted. Much of his work can be classified as temporary art. A small number of his works are officially, non-publicly, sold through an agency he created called Pest Control. Banksy's documentary film Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. In January 2011, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for the film. In 2014, he was awarded Person of the Year at the 2014 Webby Awards.
Banksy's name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. In a 2003 interview with Simon Hattenstone of The Guardian, Banksy is described as "white, 28, scruffy casual—jeans, T-shirt, a silver tooth, silver chain and silver earring. He looks like a cross between Jimmy Nail and Mike Skinner of The Streets." An ITV News segment of 2003 featured a short interview with someone identified in the reporting as Banksy. Banksy began as an artist at the age of 14, was expelled from school, and served time in prison for petty crime. According to Hattenstone, "anonymity is vital to him because graffiti is illegal". Banksy reportedly lived in Easton, Bristol, during the late 1990s, before moving to London around 2000.
In an interview with the BBC in 2003, which was rediscovered in November 2023, reporter Nigel Wrench asked if Banksy is called Robert Banks; Banksy responded that his forename is Robbie. The Mail on Sunday claimed in 2008 that Banksy is Robin Gunningham, born on 28 July 1974 in Yate, 12 miles (19 km) from Bristol. Several of Gunningham's associates and former schoolmates at Bristol Cathedral School have corroborated this, and, in 2016, a study by researchers at the Queen Mary University of London using geographic profiling found that the incidence of Banksy's works correlated with the known movements of Gunningham. According to The Sunday Times, Gunningham began employing the name Robin Banks, which eventually became Banksy. Two cassette sleeves featuring his art work from 1993, for the Bristol band Mother Samosa, exist with his signature. In June 2017, DJ Goldie referred to Banksy as "Rob" in an interview for a podcast.
Other speculations on Banksy's identity include the following:
Robert Del Naja (also known as 3D), a member of the trip hop band Massive Attack, had been a graffiti artist during the 1980s prior to forming the band, and was previously identified as a personal friend of Banksy.
In 2020, users on Twitter began to speculate that former Art Attack presenter Neil Buchanan was Banksy. This was denied by Buchanan's publicist.
In 2022, Billy Gannon, a local councillor in Pembroke Dock was rumoured to be Banksy. He subsequently resigned because the speculation was affecting his ability to carry out the duties of a councillor. "I'm being asked to prove who I am not, and the person that I am not may not exist," he said. "I mean, how am I supposed to prove that I'm not somebody who doesn't exist? Just how do you do that?"
In October 2014, an internet hoax circulated that Banksy had been arrested and his identity revealed.

This is one of many houses in this block which has passed from hand to hand as speculation continues about how this block will be used in the future. The block next to it (between Idylwyld and Avenue B) was suddenly razed a couple years ago and a Holiday House was put on the property.
There was resistance from community organizations who wanted the block put to uses which would serve the community. As with many controversial decisions, the block was levelled overnight, the hoardings went up and the hotel was built.
Unsuspecting passers-through had no idea they were staying in a hotel on the edge of one of the most violent neighbourhoods in Canada. It took a while for the hotel people to get their security in order.
This shot of a house that will likely soon be demolished is a more accurate expression of how I see this block than my b/w treatment of the same house.
My wife dragged me to the Garden of Cosmic Speculation. It basically looks like a big miniature golf course. But these caught my eye.

The weather outside was frightful, windy and snowy. I stood at the checkout at the Minnetonka Target with my cart brimming with bulk toilet paper, bags of purina one dog food and 2 furnace filters. In the lane next to me stood a tall man in a wide brimmed panama hat pulled down over his forehead, wearing sunglasses. He smiled at me as if to acknowlege that he was incognito.
As he checked out with the grey haired cashier, she lookd at him and asked him “paper or plastic?” He replied; “sail on silver girl... sail on by....” - then he came to and said; “Er... plastic’. He paid with his Target Credit card.

U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro told reporters today that President Obama’s upcoming visit to Israel has “a very urgent agenda.”
Although the White House has not officially released the date of the president’s visit, speculation is that it will begin on March 20th. March 20th is six weeks away.
Shapiro also said, “We have a very complex agenda about Iran, Syria, and the need to get Israel and the Palestinians back to the negotiating table.” That would seem to suggest that Mr. Obama may have an agenda in which everything is tied directly or indirectly to promoting negotiations with the Palestinians, especially since he also intends to visit with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
The Palestinian Authority seems to be reading the purpose of the trip entirely differently than how Ambassador Shapiro framed it. A spokesman for Abbas said that “He welcomes the visit, which he hopes will result in the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.”
The Palestinian agenda is to circumvent Israel through the United Nations, to train its children to hate Israel and prepare for war, and to stop Israel from executing its program of expansion of its rightful and legal territory in the West Bank. You can be sure that President Obama’s “urgent agenda” is primarily focused on getting Israel to yield to its enemies to solve “The Palestinian Problem.”
Israel cannot afford to negotiate. Doing so can only lead to the destruction that the Palestinians seek. Israel needs leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu who are not afraid. She needs leaders who understand that the Lord is unfolding His promise that “With deep compassion I will bring you back . . . with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you.” (Isaiah 35:7-8) To which He added, “Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you.” (35:14-15)
If anything is urgent, it is that we cover Israel and Jerusalem with our prayers for God’s peace and protection as we are enjoined to do in Psalm 122:6. Please join with us, and pray those verses from Isaiah. When we pray God’s Word, it never returns void.

Unlock NAMA launch in Dublin, Ireland. Conor McCabe speaking. The stop sign system of asset speculation that is maintained by NAMA.
A disused building at 65-67 Great Strand Street in Dublin city centre was occupied and transformed for one day to bring transparency to and challenge the actions of Ireland's National Assets Management Agency (NAMA). To launch the campaign, a NAMA building was taken over as a venue for a number of educational talks, with tea, coffee and cupcakes, until the Gardai came along and made everyone leave.

There was considerable speculation in the crowd as to which car the dog would pee upon. In the event, he elected not to, at least that anybody noted.
Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo says there is little substance in rumours linking him with a switch to Ferrari next year, and that he treats the media chatter as a bit of ‘fun’.
With speculation continuing to swirl around Kimi Raikkonen’s future with the Italian squad, Ricciardo’s name has been one of several put forward as a potential replacement. The Australian outshone current Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel when the two were team mates last year, www.formula1.com reports.
“I don’t even know where the rumours started actually - it’s really exploded,” Ricciardo said. “Ferrari is probably the only top team potentially with a seat open, which is why I guess my name and a few others have been linked to that.
“It’s a bit of a laugh. You know what, it’s fun - we talk about these things now, so it creates some variety in our conversations! Obviously it is nice to be regarded by a top team like that - it’s nice to know there is interest from other teams as well. But I am with a top team too.”
Asked if either he or his management had held talks with Ferrari, Ricciardo joked: “I am my manager. I haven’t had any talks - we’ve had indirect talks through the media I guess!”
Ricciardo was one of the stars of the 2014 season, taking three wins and finishing third overall in the drivers’ standings. However, he and Red Bull have struggled for form this season - he currently lies seventh overall, with his best finish being fifth at Monaco.

It is pure speculation that this is a backcross between Catesbey's pitcher plant and yellow pitcher plant. The pitchers most resemble yellow pitcher plants but they are very short and the hoods angle up. The flowers certainly resemble yellow pitcher plants but are very short. On a couple of them, I spotted a red blush.
I visited a one of the nearby yellow pitcher plant sites. The blooms were very tall and the developing pitchers were just as tall. Here is a photo of the fully developed pitchers: www.flickr.com/photos/alan_cressler/14146053312/in/set-72...
