Banksy v El Chivo



Over the next few days we are going to upload some fantastic El Chivo pieces.
For those of you who don't know him he is the closest rival to Banksy but unlike Banksy he has shunned the capitalist art world.

This is what makes El Chivo even more elusive than Banksy. Everyone now knows who Banksy is and that he makes limited edition prints, canvases, books etc but El Chivo is an anti-capitalist who does not participate in the commercial art world- so far.

Whether playing noughts and crosses, burning boats, wonder boys or girls with broken hearts he has entertained us on London's streets.
And that's good enough for us.
