Up Periscope - Vintage Banksy Graffiti Made into a Print

I've had this lovely Banksy snap knocking around in my archives for a while but hadn't really done anything with it up to a few days ago when I cropped and re-sized it for my secret new project which is in the pipeline. As I'd tweaked it to look much better than it had previously I decided to add it to my little shop. I wonder if it actually exists on the streets of London any more, I know these things don't last forever and I did shoot it some time ago.

I've just heard on the Radio 4 news that this piece of graffiti by Mr Banksy in Glastonbury has been painted over by some overzealous volunteers. (I shot the photo above in Manchester). The man who owns the wall is none too pleased as he was due to sell it for £5K and had made an arrangement with the Council that it was not to be painted over! Can't help but be amused really.

I photographed the same piece in Oxford where the obviously see things differently.

This is not a Photo Opportunity - Print

I really have no idea why I've never made a print from this iconic piece of Banksy. Anyway, better late than never, here it is!

This is a popular photo...why?

It's all in the composition.

This photo is my most looked at on Flickr with 5006 views. The view count shot up over a couple of days and I've not been able to find out. It's rather a little mystery.
