This has to be one of his finest moments. Just the circumstances alone are enough to make it a top work, but when one considers the number of Closed Circuit cameras there are in London it get pushed near the top of the heap.

Banksy pulled off an audacious stunt to produce what is believed to be his biggest work yet in central London.
The secretive graffiti artist managed to erect three storeys of scaffolding behind a security fence despite being watched by a CCTV camera.
Then, during darkness and hidden behind a sheet of polythene, he painted this comment on ‘Big Brother’ society.

I try to imagine the thrill of actually pulling something like that off. The moment between when only you know what you’ve done yet everyone else will soon enough. What a feeling!
It would be hard for me not to levitate as I walked away from a project such as this. I sometimes miss that kind of electricity in my life but it’s nice to know it’s still out there.
Well Done Banksy! Still taking street art to new levels.

Yeah, it’s the kind of thing that would be amazing to just see never mind do. The doing part is a real head kicker.
