Banksy is so freakin’ sick! No, he’s not just my favorite street artist because he’s British and I’m obsessed with all things English – but his talent is so pure and so original.
“Billboards are like having millionaires throw rocks at your head. You never asked to see them, they invade your life and make you feel inadequate. Time has come to pick up the rocks and throw them back.”
“Imagine a city where graffiti wasn’t illegal, a city where everybody could draw wherever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a living breathing thing which belonged to everybody, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall - its wet.”
And if you're familiar with his work (meaning, you are cool), you may know him as the guy who gets all 'stealth mode' and puts up his own artwork in various museums using double sided sticky tape. The goods look legit!
