Most likely you've heard of the famous grafitti artist, Banksy. If not, then perhaps you read his name in ROTO - he's one of 2D's idols. If not even that, then maybe you've seen the Blur album covers he's done.

I don't have many idols, or people I even slightly admire, but Banksy is one of them. He's absolutely awesome. And here's his website. Check it out - you might be inspired. I am. ^.^

I think I read an article about Banksy in a magazine article in Skin. He seems pretty cool.

I LOVE BANKSY!

And I think me just saying that went against all the morals I'd like to believe in.........moving on....

No really, tho, he's inspired me in a sort of "Look at this mess" kind of way.

As an artist, I think he's rather wonderful. Also, I'd be right into the grafitti scene if I could work up the guts, but I'm too shy and law-abiding to do that - so instead I watch the others.

Like, I know the tags around my neighbourhood. There's I!NP and a few I can't make into writing, and a new-comer to the scene, AEON. It's really fun! ^.^

Banksy specialises in social commentary and protest, and that's rather important. ^.^ Gorillaz also did this with Demon Days, so, I don't know - I wouldn't be totally surprised if you guys like him, even if you haven't looked into him.

Banksy also did album art for Blur's "Think Tank" album. I basically found him by research.

Banksy's awesome.

There's a video of some of his work up on youtube to the song "Hongkongaton."
And the album art for "Think Tank" is incredible.

This is the tribute video to Banksy.
I'm so glad I came across it.

That guy really is creative. And gutsy.

Well..gutsy beside the fact that he never shows his face.
