Graffiti artist: Banksy
Ninja July 9th, 2007
I was chatting about Russian Constructivist typography with my friend, Mars over a bowl of Pho. Somehow I managed to go off on a tangent and steer the conversation towards stencil graffiti + Banksy. Mars gave me a weird stare + asked, “Who’s Banksy?”
Banksy is an English stencil graffiti artist who uses produces humorous work with an occasional slogan.
Banksy has never let the world know his real name, and he has never even posed for a photograph. Funny kind of celebrity.
—Paul Vallely, The Independent
Trivia:
A few of his stencil graffiti pieces can be seen in the movie Children of Men.
