Will earn the NHS Trust it was presented to a good few hundred thousands of Quids when auctioned.
Hopefully he won't get sued for copyright infringement by the rights holders of the two abandoned superheroes in the bin.

I'm not sure I get the fascination with this guy. He's a graffiti artist. A good one but he still defaces public property ( not in this case obviously) and people are fawning over it when he does it.

I have to admit that this is superb subject matter and I hope whoever has it (Southampton Hospital?) never sells it.

Batman is owned by Warner Brothers so most likely there won't be a problem but Spider Man is co-owned by Sony and Disney so who knows what can happen there? biggrin

Fantastic artwork by the way!

Banksy has famously disregarded copyright ownership in instances where images are publicly displayed and you don't have any choice whether you see them or not smile

I'll quote him here as a direct copy-paste, so forum filters will take out certain words I guess:

They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

#%&*$# that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

Sounds like he has issues to me.

So if I write and record a song and then perform it publically I have "assaulted" everyone's ears with my song and they can now take it and do what they want with it including recording it and selling it.

Yeah, the guy is nuts.

Great artistic ability however.

I can't speak for Banksy, but that sounds like a different thing to what he was describing. If you wrote a song, then produced an album cover art with your ass hanging out wink and pasted it on all the bus stops in the county, then that would be more like the intrusion he's talking about. You've lost your ownership of it by pasting it everywhere for everyone to see whether they wanted to or not.

Obviously it's not the legal standpoint, hence his tendency toward anonymity. I can sort of appreciate what he's saying.
