Guys, it really does not look like Banksy. The style is too clumsy for Banksy (even for Dolk, I would have thought but I am wrong apparently).
Not everyone who does stencil is Banksy. Banksy did not invent Stencil! I read recently in the British press that Blek Le Rat is France's answer to Banksy… I have seen Blek Le Rat's stencils in Paris at least since 1984 (and I am told he started in 1980-1).
I also suggest you have a look at guerilla photographer, if you want to see the most fantastic stencil/photo landscape art in the world:
Thank you very much for the interesting evening and the autograph in Berlin. I was present as a guest when you have spoken to the audience in the hotel. Great!
This made me smile. The street art inspiration is fabulous, but her outfit is great, as well! Is that weird to say, considering she's graffiti? Probably..
This is exactly the kind of photo I love to take on my travels. It's like a Banksy for the fashionista. And I know she's only a painting, but I really love that outfit!
That stencil is made from a shoot by Russh Magazine with Catherine McNeil a few years ago in Australia. I'm pretty sure it was one of her first big editorials.
Have we stepped back in time here? I love this. I am instantly reminded of Mary Quant, Vivian Westwood, Sid and Nancy. This wall art spans over twenty years of fashion. And obviously in this area of Berlin, its still alive and well. I love this. I lived through, an apt way to put it, this period and loved the absolute abandon in manner of dress, makeup, accessories, music, everything! It was a time of pure raw self expression.
hey guys, my name is peter. i made a story on both xoooox, who did the wonderful stencil and the model eva, who is looking exactly like the spraypaint. you can see it on my site: vorsichtkunst.tv have fun

Excuse me, but this stencil is by Oxo, Xoxox or XooX, as one can see when looking at what comes from her head. It is an artist from Berlin!

I would say it's the artist Xooox. He makes stencils in Germany. Manly woman thinking xooox.
