Bansky- By Chris Collins

Parented by an English photocopier, Bansky's roots as a artist started at home when he was born 1974 in Bristol, England. He's an enigma of sorts, no one has ever seen his face or heard his voice, people only know him by his quotes and street graffiti that are literally all over the world. "Imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everybody draw whatever 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 party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall - it's wet. " - Banksy.   He inspires me because he does art in spray paint, wherever and whenever, which helped me to start making my own spray art.

  1. Love the pulp fiction picture. He seems to be not only expressing artistic ideas but world ideas as in spreading street art to all in hope of bringing excitement to the world. Its a very bold cause. Also the fact that he has the mysterious style to him makes him unique as well.

    It is suprising that many street artisits do so much work for many to not have thier names on thier art showing how convicted some can be to the pure joy of making art as shown by the lack of info on bansky
