We had his helicopters projected on Slimelight walls for a while and his TV coming out of a broken window on a wall opposite Torrens Street until they fixed that horrible advert there... And if you live, work or frequent this area of London, you can find his art around. A shame that some disappear.
If you already know him and you haven't bought his book, do it soon as it is now on offer(Borders offers the best deal) and it is great.
He is not just another graffiti guy, he is a man that is worth listening to through his grafittis. Here is his web:

i had seen some of those before, ... the beach/paradise scene through the concrete was in the good ol' Daily Mail a while back ... happy to see the rest :)

Mr Banks is one of the joys of living in the East End and working in Shoreditch. The bomb-hugging girl is on Brick lane and never fails to make me grin. On Curtain Rd is a pic not shown on the site: beside a spillage of white paint in a splattish line across a pavement, there's a cop bending down with a straw having a good sniff.
Genius.

That one is on his book. The line goes on forever around the neighbourhood...
Since I have his book, I see adverts in a very different way. Never thought of his point of view, but he is great indeed!
