What a save! Get free Banksy prints on his website, banksy.co.uk

Or don’t. It’s entirely up to you. You have to print them out yourself, I’ll add, Banksy suggests printing them in the office when nobody is looking.

Sneaky little git.

Update: I’ve spent a little while looking around his site (I’m timewasting) and I’ve found one of the most profound statements on the concept of fame and celebrity:

The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don’t go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.

Can’t argue with that.
