Dyathinkeesaurus?

Watched Banksy's film "Exit through the gift shop" last night - thought it was fantastic, truly riveting. What a weird and wonderful character Thierry Guetta is and the street art of Banksy, Shepard Fairey and those guys is genuinely awesome...inspiring and intimidating in equal measure (though my mind did flicker back, for the briefest of seconds, to "Rubbish Bin With Crisp Packet and Coke Can" which featured, fleetingly, amongst the installations in a Princes Street Gardens exhibition one year ;-)

There is a little chatter saying that the whole Mr Brainwash, Thierry Guetta thing is in fact another elaborate Banksy creation - which I am more than happy to believe (in fact I'd be disappointed now to find out that it isn't) it seems right up his street art! There is something very Andy Kaufman-esk about Banksy's humour - although he makes 1000-words-per-painting worth of social comment...you still get the impression that he'd be happy if the only people who get his jokes are him and his mates.

Here's a dinosaur:
