# Banksy Ideas - Parodying A Street Art Icon

For a lot of people around the globe, the stencil artworks by British street art icon [**Banksy**](/banksy/) are the quintessence of politically influenced street art comedy. Whether the flower throwing anarchist, the peace symbol painting soldiers, or even the [*Child Drawing*](/banksy-child-drawing-series/) series, Banksy knows how to combine political statements with more or less subtle jokes...

Not long ago, the Twitter account [**Banksy Ideas**](http://twitter.com/BanksyIdeas) was registered, describing itself as *The R&D dept at Banksy HQ* and developing parodying ideas for new Banksy-like stencil artworks. Here’s some of my favorites:


	- Stencil of a line of office workers throwing themselves off a cliff like lemmings. Enjoy your Monday, yeah?

	- Stencil of Mark Zuckerberg feeding his users into a sausage machine. A fat New York broker sits at the other end, scoffing them.

	- Stencil of Bono writing a new song about Africa. But he's run out of notepaper, so he's writing it on a million dollar banknote.

	- Stencil of two Olympic runners in a relay race, yeah? But rather than passing a baton, they're exchanging a can of coke.

	- Pic of Argentinian protestors with "Give our land back" placards, yeah? In the background, Andean indigenous group, with same signs.



I’ll definitely keep following!
