Banksy: Subversively Affecting the Culture

If you've never heard of this guy you should google his name right now. He's probably the most prolific graffiti artist in the history of vandalism. No one has ever caught him, and apparently only a hand full of people even know who he is. From what I read this was one of his Most dariing feats yet...pulling it off, right in front of a Closed Circuit Surveillance Camera

I love his work...he is sarcastic, pithy, and relevant. This is a clear example of a guy who is submersed in the the culture, affected by what he sees, and then sends a message to everyone he can. I don't think he's in it for the glory, or he'd be holding press conferences. He might be in it for the "legend" that he is creating, but I would tend to believe that he is in this more to get his messages out there, than to get his name "made" around the world. His approach, his tactics, his art, his message are seen and heard by millions. I think it's cool, there are many lessons I think we can all learn from Banksy.
