Banksy Reportedly Clones Himself, Immediately Becomes Twice as Mysterious
LONDON / ALSO SOMEWHERE ELSE — In a development that has left art critics, scientists, and people walking past walls equally confused, Banksy is rumoured to have successfully cloned himself, allowing him to appear in two places at exactly the same time.
The discovery was made after:
- A new mural appeared in London
- Another appeared in Bristol
- Both were finished at precisely the same moment
- Both featured identical “definitely Banksy” style
🧠 “It’s Either Cloning… or Very Good Time Management”
Experts initially suggested:
“He’s just organised.”
However, this theory was quickly dismissed when witnesses reported:
“We saw him… in both places… at once… and neither of them made eye contact.”
🧍♂️🧍♂️ The Two Banksys
Eyewitness descriptions include:
- “One was slightly more mysterious”
- “The other was also extremely mysterious”
- “Neither confirmed anything”
One onlooker stated:
“I asked which one was the real Banksy. They both shrugged.”
🎨 Art World Reaction
The art world has responded with cautious excitement:
- “This doubles output… but also doubles confusion.”
- “Can we price two of them?”
- “Do they sign separately?”
📊 Unexpected Problems
Since the cloning, several issues have emerged:
- Both Banksys trying to remain anonymous from each other
- Arguments over who painted what
- One Banksy tagging over the other Banksy’s work “by mistake”
🧢 Official Statement (Sort Of)
A message believed to be from one—or possibly both—Banksys read:
“This is not cloning. This is efficiency.”
🚶 Public Sightings Increase
Reports are now coming in from multiple locations simultaneously, with witnesses claiming:
- “He was here.”
- “No, he was here.”
- “I think he was both.”
At press time, both versions of Banksy were reportedly seen disappearing into separate alleys, while experts confirmed:
“We now have twice as many questions… and exactly zero answers.” 😄
