Banksy
October 29th 2007 06:01
When God sneaks out at night to stencil an old brick wall, he’s making a picture of Banksy. That’s how awesome Banksy is.
Banksy is a well known artist and trickster, centred in England. He is most famous for his stencils, produced illegally in public spaces around England.
His works typically consist of Rats, Celebrities, Public Figures or Authority Archetypes and Children amongst other reoccurring themes.
He has also focussed on cultural and multimedia such as the famed ‘McDonald Balloon Girl’ and works of art painted directly onto live animals.
Banksy had also painted the Dividing wall between Israel and Palestine.
A more recent prank that gained considerable attention was the Paris Hilton CD. While Paris was being released, Banksy was busy collaborating with Dangermouse to produce Paris Hilton Remixes such as "Why am I Famous?", "What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?"
He has also snuck ‘ancient cave drawings’ of Cavemen pushing trolleys, into Museums, along with other works.
