This a very interesting graffiti artist. He does some really cool art in London. He definitely has some interesting philosophies.

That's some interesting takes on some master artworks, in the "indoors" segment.

That's also some pretty horrible site design in the outdoors area...

yeah I've heard of Bansky before his art is really great.

I read in an artical it's thought he uses home made stencils so he can compleat his pieces quicker in the real world.  but either way he's great

Yea i never realized he was so popular till i read his site. He has a cool book that shows some of his best work. I really like the windows he drew on the wall. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/results.asp?WRD=bansky&z=y

I remember a while back When I had read about him sneaking into museums and using acomplaces to cause distractions so he could put his own work on display.

I thought that was realy pretty cool

I love Banksy. I even bought a book with some of his art some time ago.

One of my favourites was "mind the crap" written at the stairs leading up to Tate in London. Unfortunately I've never seen anything he has done "live".

I prefer Shepard Fairey.  He does the Obey Giant (http://www.obeygiant.com/) stuff.
