Banksy getting portrait drawn in Times Square NYC

while on a recent business trip in new york city i encountered this strange scene of what appears to be the street artist Banksy getting his portrait drawn, as i recorded what was happening, a woman in a green army jacket was shooting photographs nearly the whole time. Another random person attempted to buy the drawing and the british security guard took her contact info. As the cops looked on more suspiciously, Banksy appears to make haste and pays the artist some money. i chased him down the street as my battery died on my damn camera, only to see him and the black man duck into a cab.

    Here's one thing about Banksy that everyone needs to remember; He doesn't want YOU to see him. It would ruin everything he's worked so hard to maintain. He's mainly a night owl and he has the ability to get in and get out without anyone noticing. There's a good reason that his paintings sell for what they do beside the fact their great pieces. He does it out of anonymity which adds to the allure.

    Pretty sure Banksy doesn't walk around with Banksy printed on his clothes. The guy is an Art Ninja. Why would he wear a hoody with his name on it? When is the last time you saw a celebrity of anybody wear a shirt with their name on it? Doesn't happen. My money would be Banksy is the one doing the drawing of one of his mates in a bad disguise. That hair was obviously fake.

    I'm going to weigh in here, the dude drawing is certainly not banksy. Based on the shape of his hands and ethnicity that is. If you watch 'exit through the giftshop' and study banksy's hands in the interviewing process, you may also see a similarity between the sitter's (shown here) and those of the elusive man there. Could be nothing, could also be a brazen act from the enigma himself. This is my first comment ever and I don't mean to be offensive to anyone just donating my valueless opinion. Peace and love.

    Are people this gullible to think that's Banksy just because that name is on his hoodie and he's pretending to be him as a prank or to get attention?

    Banksy would never reveal anytime soon who he or she is.... he or she is facing some real charges so I'm sure he or she not going to just throw his or hersself out there like that this is definitely a fake

    a point is that you can label something banksy and people will open their wallets.
