If anyone hasn't already heard of Banksy, heres some background: Banksy is a british graffiti/stencil artist who's identity, till this day is unknown. The thing about Banksy that i like most is the topics he chooses to stencil about, which aren't just tags or versions of his own name. His work touches on topics like politics, culture, ethics and are essentially his point of view on them. His style is similar to that of paris based Blek Le rat and although he started out in Bristol his work is known worldwide and seems to be getting the appreciation it deserves.
He Even released "the first street art disaster movie" called 'Exit through the Gift Shop' which premiered at Sundance this year.
Anyway, his new works are in LA and i thought I'd share those with you:
Finally il leave you with a Banksy Quote
"I use whatever it takes. Sometimes that just means drawing a moustache on a girl's face on some billboard, sometimes that means sweating for days over an intricate drawing. Efficiency is the key"
