Banksy.

A Bristish street artist.
His paintings are technicly illegal.
He hides his identity for this reason and has never been caught.


Examples of his work;








So, what are your thoughts on him, hero or comman criminal?
​

 

Fucking beast. Those are epic, illegal or not.

 

Even if it's illegal, people enjoy it and it isn't really causing any harm. This doesn't mean that anyone should paint on walls, but it's not a terrible crime committed.

I personally think they look awesome.

 

Only paint on walls if you got skill He's a hero. Wish he was here in Canada.

Edit: Yea cod4addict12, didn't notice, that's my favorite by far. We had to struggle to get where we are.

 

I like the KKK one personally cause it shows how we went through the struggle and how its the KKK's turn to feel the pain

+1 wish i could meet this person and he himself give me lessons/

 

He's most likely done work incanada, the one with the 'hole to paradise' is on a wall that seperates iraq and iran.

KKK was in new orleans i think but was scrubbed out within 24 hours.

 

My brother first showed me Banksy, this was the first graffiti drawing I saw and his works of art have a lot meaning to them rather than the garbage graffiti people tag in today's society.

 

He's portrayed his message better than any politician of his age.

An hero.

 

I personally like the GOOD graffitis, not the rubbish gangster signatures like this -> http://www.roundonline.com/manchester/wp-content/graf_nyc_02.jpg

I think it actually looks good in the walls, just brings more life and happiness to the streets lol.

 

How do people know all these paintings are done by the same person?

 

Very interesting -google search-

 

Pretty nice to see some inspirational graffiti, if i walk around the corner all i see on buildings in gang signs.

 

he is amazing. i wish his work would inspire some of our aspiring hoodlums around where i live.
i would hang every one of his paintings in my house.

 

I wouldn't call him a hero or a criminal. However, he has talent.

 

These paintings are amazing.

It isn't often that people get to express themselves in the way they truly want to. He has found a way.

Hero!

 

It's quite obvious IMO.

In the eyes of the law, he's a criminal; in the eyes of artists, he's a hero.

 

Very nice work.

 

hes a great artist. i'll post some more in a bit







i got a lot more

 

Pretentious is the word that best describes Banksy.

The reason he hides his identity is because he is a middle aged man, not because what he does is illegal.

 

Some of his art looks 3d, it's crazy.
