Lately, there have been a bunch of
vandalisms paintings popping up by the world-famous
Banksy.

His work always proves controversial, especially to the conservative yuppies who think his art is trash. I find his street art amazing.

| Crayola Shooter just might be my favorite |
Maybe people are just stupid and don't understand the value of his work... Urban Outfitters already filed to have the "Crayola Shooter" removed from the wall behind their building. CBS just took down his art because it covered one of their billboards. They were furious. Little did they know that his art on that billboard was valued at over $100,000... and CBS just trashed it.

Many say this is Banksy's anti-Oscar campaign. His film, "
Exit Through The Gift Shop" is up for Best Documentary. But the Academy banned him from appearing masked (he is still anonymous) on stage if he were to win. His film is amazing as well, I think everyone should check it out. And his art is awesome, I hope it keeps popping up in LA this week.
I like what he does! I'm wondering though about the legality of what he posted on his website. I really could care less about the law but that would be a weak way to get caught graffitiing.
ReplyDeleteCan you get pictures of his new pieces of art?
