Graffiti and stufffff

Much graffiti can be just stupid tool's trying to be bad ass. But artist's who decide to take it to wall's and streets I definitely have a solid respect for.  A good example would be Banksy, he has been a unknown artist since who knows when, but people starting finding his work in 2002 and realizing how sick it really was. 

<<<<< is one of Banksy's peaces of work

His pictures are sold online for millions, dudes are freaking genius. Except now that I just googled and looked into it a little more "apparently" there is one picture of him and he has been identified as Robin Gunningham  I will post the picture lower that is him. 

I find myself hoping that they have it all wrong, and he still is a mystery cause that's just wicked awesome. 

My thoughts on graffiti are pretty circumstantial it really does depend where it is, and how it's done and what the intentions behind it are.  I don't believe people have the right to sign there names everywhere and I don't see that as art at all... but when graffiti is taken to the next level and makes a picture that is clever and thought provoking then I think it's pretttttyyyyy sick and most definitely called for!

okay never mind I guess the picture of Banksy will wait because this stupid blog site is being lame, but here's the link http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/10_04/Banksy3ES_468x349.jpg

    I agree with you sir. I would just like to pop those stupid people in the face who just tag stupid stuff on walls. But I greatly appreciate time and effort put into murals and pictures that some graffiti artists put on walls. Its really awesome :)

    It actually kind of makes me angry that they identified him.
    For some reason, it just seemed so much cooler to think of him as more of a statement then as a person. Like he was defined by his art, and his identity didn't really matter.

    I agree it would be awesome if he was still a myterious cause. I don't believe that is him thou, because imma suggest that it was just somebody trying to get money for it all. Think about it if he was doing all this and nobody knew who he was would he be this sloppy to allow somebody to get a picture of him or maybe im just taking this a little to far into thought but ya that's my thoughts on the matter.

    I really dont like that they may of actually found out who he is. Part of what made his work so amazing was the fact that people could not put a face to the art, only a name.
