Graffiti

I thought I'd start a thread about some great graffity artists.

Today, some of the often politically oriented works of Banksy

There is a whole lot more of them, this is just a small selection

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Didn't Banksy do the "One Nation under CCTV" one as well?

 

[Kahgan]

Heh, some of that was pretty cool actually.

I wish I had such artistic talent and skill...

I always get a kick out of NYC's Poster Boy. I just wish he hit Metro North more.

One man’s vandalism is another’s political art. Just ask Poster Boy, the Matisse of subway-ad mash-ups.

Cool to see him at his craft:

No 8 is my fav

 

[Pablosdog]

He hits the nail on the head with most of his political messages.

bansky is great, I've been seeing his graffitis since 2008, when I first saw his website. I think 99% of the grafittis are amazing ideas, only 1% are just "cool".

Maybe you also know the innovative works of BLU. While he's clearly not as famous as Banksy, he created amazing piece of art by animating entire walls, that you may already have encountered :

This is very cool.

Bansky is amazing.

I approve of this thread.

I read about this dude before. He hid the film rolls of his work on the West Bank barrier better then his cocaine when he was going to the airport.

Bansky does one of the best Simpsons couch gags ever. Not sure if the youtube will be on for long though

Since the thread is revived, I'll post some more Banksy from the wall in Palesine:

 

[thegaresexperience]

I can't find it right now, but I love the one he did with the man throwing the bouquet of flowers like a Molotov. I't my background on my laptop at home
