EVERYONE HAS GONE TO BRISTOL

Banksy has announced his Summer Show starting today at the Bristol Museum as the world and his wife already know, however it looks like Notbanksy is going to be around in Bristol as well. This note (below) has appeared on their website with a not to cryptic one line addition on the freebie page that points to some art drops to maybe confuse the Banksy fans a little.

But not to be outdone Continuitybanksy have put a statement online via a link in a mailout from L-13 that reads"
