If you haven’t yet heard of Banksy, here’s what you need to know. He is a graffiti artist from England that specializes in stencils. You can find his work all over the world by it’s distinctive style and subversive, thought provoking messages that are generally anti-establishment but sometimes just plain fun. Other times the theme may vary between ideas like anti-war, police corruption, surveillance, pollution, consumerism, most importantly there is always there is a residue of delicious mischief. Undoubtedly the coolest thing about Banksy is that he has more or less managed to keep his identity secret until now. The second coolest thing to report is there is a new movie about him, and here is a pretty neat 5 minute promo for it.
