According to the Sunday Mail their 'investigation',
...has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that the artist is former public schoolboy Robin Gunningham... The only concrete clue until now has been a photograph taken in Jamaica four years ago of a man with a bag of spray cans by his feet. Gunningham’s former school pal Scott Nurse said: ‘He was one of three people in my year who were extremely talented at art. I am not at all surprised if he is Banksy.’ Records reveal Gunningham once lived with artist Luke Egan, who later exhibited with Banksy. Mr Egan initially denied knowing Gunningham but later admitted he had lived with him.
The 2004 Photo - Banksy?
However they also report that...
People who know Gunningham are now unable to say what has become of him. His father Peter, who lives in Kingsdown, Bristol, denied that the man in the photograph was his son, and his mother Pamela was surprised by the picture, then denied she even had a son, let alone one called Robin.Even the Beeb are reporting the story... So... we're all wondering "Is it true?"... or more to the point "Does it matter?"
Isn't this, like, the worst kept secret ever?... A bit like finding out who The Stig is on Top Gear?
