I think banksy is amazing....i love his art and his observations on contemporary society....its both refreshing and impressive to see an artist taking on the mass generalisation and boredom that is the stiff routine of modern day art...he has turned it on its head and made us see that we can take the streets back. From my point of view as an artist...i like the fact that he's saying something...he uses images in such a powerful way...and they hold a paradigm for me as I get a funny seriousness from most of his work. I also deeply admire his honesty in work...his idealism rooted in a true sense of himself I think..and his beliefs...which I gather are strong! WE need more artists like this challenging the way we think about art and how we view it.............. annnywayyy...enjoy this...>>>>>>>>
