Banksy is a world renowned graffiti artist from the UK, we don't even know for sure if he is one person, since he seems to be good at everything from molding fiberglass to cement sculpture to good ol' spray can art. If he spray paints your wall and claims responsibility you can sell that piece of your wall for tens of thousands of dollars. So, artist or vandal?

    Coming from someone who has been a graff writer and still does draw a good deal of graffiti, street art is and always will be vandalism so long as it hasn't been sanctioned by the owner of the property it was done on. That being said, it's still art, and my favorite form of art at that. Bansky is just one of many incredible artists that produce their work on the streets illegally. I mean it's hard to say that something like [url=http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3230/3157351205_7c0982ff2f_o.jpg]this[/url] isn't art just because the property owner didn't intend for it to be there.
