Banksy?

While Banksy's work has not been directly spotted in Cairo, his presence is nevertheless felt. His film "Exit Through The Giftshop" will be screened later this week at the Townhouse Gallery.

I have admired Banksy's work from afar for many years. He is a British graffiti-artist who is one of the pioneer's of street art. He has done many provocative works across the globe, yet never shows his face (even in his film). He has done several pieces on the Israeli/ Palestinian Separation Wall. (http://www.banksy.co.uk/)

During the 28 October demonstrations, I found a piece of street art (right) that reminded me of one of Banksy's pieces (left).

The two pieces certainly have there differences (for starters, the two men are facing in opposite directions), but I nevertheless find them remarkably similar.

While the man in Banksy's piece is throwing a bouquet of flowers, it is unclear what the man in the Cairo piece is throwing. Thoughts?
