You might have heard of Banksy, the British guerilla stencil artist. He was the one responsible for the Paris Hilton Album stunt. Well he's exhibiting in LA at the moment (JUAN - you should try and get along and see this!). I wanted to share some of his work with you. LOL! You can check out more of his stuff AT HIS WEBSITE

Wow, I love his stuff! Thought provoking and some of it's pretty hilarious too - mostly because I think it's good modern social commentary. Will be checking more of his work out. Thanks Wah x ;D

I wanna go to LA too dammit! I'm not sure if he has a mailing list but I might suss it out. He is British so I imagine he exibits in Europe as well. I'd love to go. What is also amazing is that Banksy has remained anonymous throughout his career. There's a really interesting article from the New York times here: supertouchblog.com/?p=319And Steve, I love that picture you posted too ;D

Thanks for sharing those! I'm utterly smitten with his work... I love political irony. I shared quite a few of his images with some friends via email... I love discovering new artists. It makes me feel more connected to the world.
