Has the World's Most Controversial Graffiti Artist Gone Mainstream? Published: Jan 12, 07 Comments: 1 Views: 16,334 Banksy, the world’s most famous (and elusive) graffiti artist, has launched a website. The site showcases his work and provides advice for creating your own graffiti. For example, Banksy notes, “Be aware that going on a major mission totally drunk out of your head will result in some truly spectacular artwork and at least one night in the cells.” You might remember the video of Banksy’s Paris Hilton Hoax, in which hundreds of her records were replaced with a different CD cover. In addition to that hoax, Banksy’s world famous graffiti art has graced every surface from the most renowned government buildings to the walls of the gaza strip. Accordingly, the site is operated by his agents in order to protect his identity. On the site, Banksy has answered some pressing questions about his work: Is graffiti art or vandalism? How do you make the stencils so big? Do you sell t-shirts? Has Banksy sold out? Filed In: |
