He’s got as much right as anyone, he’s a Bristolian, and was part of the local graffiti and dance/rave scene along with a bunch of others including members of Massive Attack.

Cleveland showed another way of addressing statues. Paint and ropes are a safer alternative. https://www.clevelandart.org/research/conservation/rodins-thinker

I guess the point was that the point was made with the initial action, and further modification wasn’t necessary.

Maybe all those damages statues could be collected, cut up, and soldered together into one nightmarish, multiheaded monstrosity, kinda like those in Cyriak Harris videos.

But Banksy’s idea isn’t making the same point. The first action was a righteous deletion of a memorial to a slave trader. Banksy’s subsequent suggestion is for a monument memorializing that action, and others like it.
Anyway, I rather doubt Banksy sees it as a suggestion that has any real hope of enactment. The drawing itself will likely have to serve as a new memorial.

Ah, I guess I’m just too jaded. I saw it as Banksy needing to put his artistic “statement” on what was originally a very real organic community statement.
Also, GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN!
