"Exit Through The Gift Shop"
A documentary about the street art superstar
To read Banksy's interview (from the French newspaper 'Le Monde')
click on Banksy's rat :
Banksy has issued 2 new paintings on his website,
so as to show he'll keeep on street spray-painting --no matter how clean London streets might be made...
"Tourists don't come to London for shining perfection. They come for old and new in chaotic ungainly juxtaposition. And they come, partly, for Banksy. The prince of street art is our most famous contemporary artist, however much the moneyed art world would like to believe otherwise. Banksy postcards and canvas Banksy reproductions sell alongside royal memorabilia in London – west country man as he may be.

Street art is seen by the Olympics as a problem to be solved. It's not, it's part of London's identity, and a reason why people visit [...] The Guardian logo to read the article by Jonathan Jones (July 20, 2012)
_______________
"In cleaning up London's graffiti for the Olympics city authorities threaten to squelch the work of one of its biggest celebrities, the street artist Banksy, but on Monday the secretive graffiti artist showed he wouldn't be deterred from creating Olympics-related art while the whole world is watching.

The Cultural Show

Banksy's mural in East London
The Daily Mail decodes the image :
"It depicts a water tap being called - a tap phoned - with a simulated phone ringing 'Brinngg, Brinngg' as well as a confused person with a thought bubble which reads 'Oh no... my tap's been phoned.' "
'The Guardian' online hasn't reported yet, but meanwhile you can browse their previous articles on Banksy in the 'Art & Design' Section

BANKSY TARGETS THE SIMPSONS
On October 21, the latest Simpsons episode will show an intro
created by Banksy :
"It's the first time an artist has been invited to storyboard part of the show and when you see it, you'll be shocked that he made it past the network executives. Amazing, quite dark, and incredibly complex." WoosterCollective says... and they're dead right !
ARTICLES :
from the BBCnews :
"Banksy creates new Simpsons title sequence"
from the Guardian (October 11) :
"Banksy takes Simpsons into sweatshop"
Watch ITV short report - Though the picture is identical...
the video is different :-)
The transcript is in the red folder -click !
Actually the artist had already sprayed a parody of the Simpsons : 
updated March 29, 2011
In conclusion, here is an 08'03" video I found on YouTube channel. Actually it is rather a slide show which displays numerous spray paintings and graffiti he made in many countries. I hope you'll like them -I think they're worth watching :-)
