“I'm an artist....
My art is called graffiti.
I do it without permission
and I'm not sorry.”
Banksy is the assumed name of an artist who creates amazing works of graffiti anonymously. He tells his story here, describing his way of working with spray paint and stencils in painting monkeys, soldiers, and more.
“I like to make images that say something,
that mean something.
They can be against war,
or poverty,
or pollution.
And a lot of the time,
about how I'm fed up with politics.”
A fun look at a mysterious artist and his work.
