Banksy is a well-known pseudo-anonymous British graffiti artist. He is believed to be a native of Yate, South Gloucestershire, near Bristol and to have been born in 1974, but there is substantial public uncertainty about his identity and personal and biographical details. According to Tristan Manco, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. The son of a photocopier engineer, he trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s." His artworks are often-satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics.

Yeah Rae!xx it's his controversy that appeals to me. Do you have any of his work locally to you?
We love graffiti don't we? When tastefully done it is never a crime and always art!
I think that's the nature of art and artists Rick, the more controversial the more people talk the more famous the artist becomes!!!!
