Phantom street artist Banksy is widely regarded as one of this decade’s most prolific painters, artists and political activists. In other words, he loves to fuck with the big guys and generally piss-off authority figures when getting his messages out to the public. Banksy has expanded his audience exponentially as of late, with his anti-war, anti-capitalist and anti-establishment manifestos and an art world lampooning "documentary" called Exit Through The Gift Shop.

His latest work is no exception. The new short film, Pier Pressure, shows what can be best described as a reconditioned dolphin ride with crude oil and a tuna net. No doubt an obvious jab at the recent BP oil spill, Banksy’s film not only features his refashioned coin-operated dolphin, mounted atop a holy grail of BP, but to any ironist’s delight; two young kidlets riding in merriment and posing for Mum’s holiday snapshot – the obvious distortion of the ride unbeknownst to all. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

If you liked that, don’t hesitate in watching this little gem below…one of the few moments you’ll be close to actually viewing Banksy himself. Decked out in hippie garb, Banksy (as per usual) makes a statement by heckling Prince Charles…
