Just a quick note to let everyone know that contrary to the Mail on Sunday’s reports that Robin Gunningham is Banksy that I, Adam Pieniazek, am actually Banksy. Yes, even though I have nearly no ability to draw I am in fact the great vigilante stencil graffiti artist.

Check it out, here’s me duplicating some of the art on my public web-site, Banksy to prove I am the real Banksy.

Banksy Signature Tag

See. Clearly I am Banksy as that signature which I just wrote looks exactly like the one on the main Banksy site.

Yup, the whole being British thing and living in the U.K. was just a ploy to throw you off my scent. Though I’ve preferred to perform my art in anonymity, I must now come out and declare myself publicly to prevent that hack Robin Gunningham from getting the credit for my brilliance.

Here’s the me replicating the infamous gorilla from my menu page.

Banksy Purple Gorilla

See. Identical.

Even the purple will make sense now. It’s a shout-out to my real public high school, the Boston Latin School, whose fine art department and classic education made me the rebel I am today.

So once again, do not believe the Mail on Sunday when they “report” that Robin Gunningham is Banksy.

No, I am Banksy.

I will now retire to my own personal island for I am rich.

Oh, and here’s one of my favorite Banksy / Adam Pieniazek pieces:

Banksy Soldier Patdown

Don’t believe me?

Are you Banksy?

    Are you terrified?
    War is Terror
    The question is of extreme relevance as the war on terror is all about you.

    A war on terror is a war on a word, a concept, an invisible entity that we can never truly kill. It represents a shift in war mentality. In recent history war has taken an us versus them perspective, where group A loves or needs X and group B hates or has X so A and B fight. Now, we fight words, and as a result we’ve personalized and individualized war. A war on terror is in essence a war of one against a feeling.

    For seven years we’ve fought against this word, “terror”, yet people are still terrified. They doubt the resiliency of our economy. They distrust our “elected” leaders. They wonder if they can afford to put food on the table. Seven years have passed and terror is still kicking our butts, and will continue to do so, for we cannot kill a word.

    There is only one way to end this war and it starts with you. It starts here. Are you ready to end the world on terror? Gather up your courage, clear your throat, stretch your fingers and shout or type it as loud you can:

    I am not terrified!

    • I am not terrified of dying.

      • It is an event that will meet all of us soon. Rich, poor, old, young, athletic, obese, smart, stupid, good and evil, all of us will one day die. I speed through the streets of Greater Boston on my bicycle without fear of death. It makes me a better cyclist, as I do not hesitate to move.

    • I am not terrified of Muslims.

      • They are a people. There are over 1.5 billion Muslims in this world. Some of them are evil; some of them are not. Most of them are average people like you and me.

    • I am not terrified of peace.

      • Without war, how would we keep global population down, technology on the cutting edge and resources flowing? By focusing on these issues rather than killing each other, that’s how.This War on Terror is a War on Peace

    • I am not terrified of the federal government of these United States of America.

      • If need be, the fifty states of the union can and will exercise their rights to sovereignty.

    • I am not terrified that our elections are either greatly mismanaged or more realistically fraudulent.

      • My vote will be published on this blog. It may not be counted but it will be recorded.

    • I am not terrified that artificial people called corporations roam our lands and rape people’s wallets and health for the pursuit of the lowly dollar.

      • Consumerism is a dying artificial (d)evolution and is already experiencing the last struggles before its’ ultimate death.

    Most importantly, I am simply not terrified.

    The only way to end this war on words is with words. Declare you are not terrified and join me in a world without wars on words.

    As of now, for me, the war on terror is over!
