Graffiti Drawings By Banksy

2010
The world premiere the film Exit Through the Gift Shop occurred at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on 24 January. He created 10 street pieces around Park City and Salt Lake City to tie in with the screening. In February, The Whitehouse public house in Liverpool, England, is sold for £114,000 at auction. The side the building has an image a giant rat by Banksy. In March 2010 the work "Forgive us our Trespassing" was displayed at the Londoner underground. The work had to be displayed without the halo over the boy's head. After a few days the halo was repainted and the poster was removed by Tube advertising bosses. The display was organised by Art Below a London based public art agency. In April 2010, Melbourne City Council in Australia reported that they had inadvertently ordered private contractors to paint over the last remaining Banksy art in the city. The image was a rat descending in a parachute adorning the wall an old council building behind the Forum Theatre. In 2008 Vandals had poured paint over a stencil an old-fashioned diver wearing a trenchcoat. A council spokeswoman has said they would now rush through retrospective permits to protect other “famous or significant artworks” in the city. In April 2010 to coincide with the premier Exit Through the Gift Shop in San Francisco, 5 his pieces appeared in various parts the city. Banksy reportedly paid a Chinatown building owner $50 for the use their wall for one his stencils. In early May 2010, seven new Banksy pieces appeared in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, though most have been subsequently painted over or removed. In May 2010 to coincide with the premier Exit through the Gift Shop in Royal Oak, Banksy visited the Detroit area and left his mark in several places, two in Warren and at least three in Detroit. (Article states two in Warren and one in Detroit, which is factually inaccurate.) Shortly after the Detroit piece showing a little boy holding a can red paint next to the words “I remember when all this was trees” was excavated by the 555 Nonprit Gallery and Studios. They claim that they do not intend to sell the work but plan to preserve it and display it at their Detroit gallery. There was also an attempted removal one the Warren pieces known as "Diamond Girl".
Banksy was also credited with the opening couch gag for the 2010 The Simpsons episode "MoneyBART", depicting people working in deplorable conditions and using endangered or mythical animals to make both the episodes cel-by-cel and the merchandise connected with the program. His name appears several times throughout the episode's opening sequence, spray-painted on assorted walls and signs.
