Banksy

Some say it's vandalism but Banksy is one graffiti artist who's work can be found from the streets of London to the West Bank Barrier in Palestine and even the back alleys of Melbourne. The cult of Banksy is only fueled by the artists anonymity (he knows how to play it cool) and his distinctive stenciling techniques that express alternative political views. Some believe he gives a voice to the people who inhabit the urban landscapes he chooses to paint. But you also might say he does it for a laugh or a smile in otherwise bleak surroundings.

The above is a picture I captured on my mobile at an exhibition of Banksy's work in Kensington, London over a year ago and here's what he has been up to lately
