I'm not sure, Brendon. He's been unmasked plenty times before in newspapers.

At best, without any confirmation from those who know him, this is just speculation.

When I first read the story over the weekend I left the story thinking "Maybe. But we don't know for sure and we'll probably never know." I didn't go away thinking "Wow. That is certainly Banksy."

His art is still incredibly good. I don't think another newspaper speculating from some supposed research in Jamaica will take away from his marketability.

As far as I'm concerned, he's still unknown. If the media really believed this was a confirmed story, it would have been much bigger than it was.

I think. :-)

Or maybe I just want to believe this isn't him for the sake of keeping him unknown and exciting. :-)
