Take notice of the Banksy Kate Moss portrait obviously inspired by Warhols Marilyn Monroe. I’ve been hearing more and more stories of Banksy peices being stolen off building and sold on ebay from a few thousand pounds. This seems like such a small price to pay when:

On April 27th 2007, a new record high for the sale of Banksy’s work was set with the auction of the work ‘Space Girl & Bird’ fetching £288,000 ($576,000), around 20 times the estimate at Bonhams of London.

What is happening currently with banksy reminds me of what happened with Jean-Michel Basquiat in NYC during the 80’s after he met Warhol. People were stealing his work from the street to sell.

As well check out how when buffing the walls in the UK they have started painting around Banksy peaces, encredable.

Many books have also been published throughout the span of Terry’s career. His first book, entitled Hysteric Glamour, was published in 1998; this was followed by Son of Bob in 1999, Feared by Men Desired by Women in 2000, Too Much in 2001, and 2004 saw the publishing of both Terryworld and Kibosh.

All portraits are beautiful and they really have a great work. I can't decide from those what is better.
