Eight new stencils in Paris confirmed by Banky’s Instagram. 28 June 2018
Banksy’s stay in Paris has been a productive one. On 28 June, Banksy’s Instagram confirmed eight new stencils. The Bataclan Girl, which was stencilled on a fire door to the Bataclan Club, will probably make history.
As reported by Street Art News (www.streetartnews.net), the following two pieces did appear in Paris at the same time and in the same area, but they haven’t been confirmed yet. Judging by style, execution, and political content, they ought to be authentic.

Brooklyn seal confirmed by Banksy’s Instagram. 21 March 2018.
The seal was painted at the same abandoned gas station in Midwood, Brooklyn, as the Trump “gentrification” piece. According to locals, both pieces were painted around 10 March. The seal uses the remaining part of the Mobil gas station logo as its ball.
Banksy continues in NYC with a piece on Trump capitalism. 19 March 2018
Banksy continues his New York session in 2018 with another large mural in Brooklyn on Coney Island Avenue and Avenue I. The piece depicts a typical real estate developer equipped with a hard hat and a graph instead of a whip in his hand. A reference to Mr Trump’s beginnings as heir to the vast real estate empire founded by his father, Fred Trump?
Banksy mural in New York in support of Zehra Doğan. 15 March 2018
A 22-metre-long mural was unveiled on 15 March in New York in support of jailed Kurdish painter Zehra Doğan. It is a collaboration with New York artist John Tsombikos, a.k.a. BORF. The piece is at the corner of Houston Street and the Bowery. Banksy said in a statement to the New York Times:
“I really feel for her. I’ve painted things much more worthy of a custodial sentence,”
New Rat in New York. 14 March 2018
Banksy is back in New York with his first piece since October 2013. It’s a brilliantly executed rat-in-the-clock, a theme that has been used a few times before, most recently at The Walled Off Hotel. The piece can be found on 6th Ave., a few blocks south of the Empire State Building.
Draw the raised bridge! – New mural in Hull. 26 January 2018
The artwork was discovered on 26 January on the Scott Street Bridge in Hull, a town in eastern England. The stencilled piece depicts a boy raising a makeshift sword with a pencil attached to the tip, carrying a shield, and wearing a cap and a colander on his head.
On his Instagram account, Banksy changes the wording to RAISE THE DRAWBRIDGE. Banksy being for the EU and Hull being the city with the highest Brexit leave is one take on the artwork. It could also refer to the Siege of Hull in 1642, when King Charles I was refused entry to Hull by Sir John Hotham and the Parliament.

British artist James Ame caught with a Banksy stencil and a spray can. 13 December 2017
British artist James Ame, a.k.a. Ame72, was caught in a photo in early December by a British tourist outside the Milk Grotto chapel in Bethlehem in front of a recently confirmed artwork by Banksy. Mr. Ame is holding a spray can and part of a stencil, which seems to fit with the star in the artwork.
James Ame participated in an exhibition curated by Steve Lazarides at Herzliya Marina in Tel Aviv in March 2017. At the same time, also in March 2017, Banksy opened his Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem, just 80 km from Tel Aviv. Steve Lazarides is Banksy’s former agent. According to James Ame’s website, http://www.ame72.com, he also participated in The Cans Festival in London, the collective street art exhibition organised by Banksy in May 2008. A publicity stunt by Steve L, or is James Ame a member of the Banksy street art crew?
