“Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
And even if you don't come up with a picture to cure world poverty you can
make someone smile while they're having a piss.”

Banksy deals wiht anti-war, anti-capitalism, anti-facism, anti-imperialism, anarchism, and the human condition. His works are very controversial, but he has become very popular, and is known all over the world. His true identity is unknown. He also uses stencils, because he has said in his book, Wall and Piece, that he could never finish graffiti fast enough before he began using them.
I really like his work because its so controversial. He deals with humanity's problems head on- the struggle for peace in a time of war,anarcism, and the growth of cities.

Banksy's my hero. I understand there's been a lot of debate over whether or not his art is legitimate though. His work having been done using stencils rather than being done free-handed and all. But it's all about the message being broadcasted if you ask me. So the critics can suck it. Good post.
