This book shows the humorous, sometimes political, caustic and often thoughtful artwork of Banksy. His artwork is not vandalism but a way he found to sends out a political statement. He isn't afraid to mention things we would otherwise keep quiet. Hurrah to Banksy for his courage! ( )If you hate Banksy (pretentious! preachy!) this book won't do much to change your opinion. But for a laugh at some snarky humor this book is great. I love Banksy's art. It gives me hope that there are people who still believe in the nonviolent protests, in art and beauty, even if the government is slowly trying to stifle those inspirations today. There's a stenciled graffiti down in the Short North that is defnitely Banksy-esque and it makes me glad that people in the US share the same distaste as I of our authorities. Witty, provocative, revolutionary, Banksy brings both graffiti and art to new levels. He's the guy who replaced all of Paris Hilton's debut CDs at a UK record store with his own remixes entitled 'Why Am I Famous?' Enough said. -Cory The work of one artist, that goes by Banksy. I get the impression that this guy has a bit of an ego, but his work is awesome. I might have to purchase this book for myself. My absolute favorite is the photos and stories of him putting up his work in museums. Brilliant. 0.033 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
