This week I thought I would try something new by introducing an "artist of the week." This week's artist is one of my favorite street artists who goes by the name of "Banksy." Banksy is known for putting up large works all over with great daring and political meaning. He first started producing art on the British underground scene, but has since moved up to doing stenciling all over the world. His identity is completely unknown, which makes his work even more intriguing. To give you an idea of his work, he once snuck into the London Zoo and painted “I want out. This place is too cold. Keeper smells. Boring, boring, boring.” on the inside of the elephant pen.
Not much is known about Banksy, so not much can be said. For now, I will leave you with a few words and quite a few more pictures.
“I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I’m not sure I like it enough.” -Banksy
