    Default Banksy


    Style: Modern/Contemporary/Graffiti.

    Even though I have some distaste for graffiti in general, some people do have the right to be called "graffiti artists", the first among them being Banksy.

    Banksy is the pseudonym of a well-known (for his works) yet anonymous (having not revealed his identity) English graffiti artist from Yate near Bristol.
    His artwork is often composed of satirical pieces of art which encompass topics from politics, culture, and ethics.
    His street art, which combines graffiti with a distinctive stencilling technique, has appeared in London and in cities around the world.

    Gil, seu imitador! Sorry for speakin in portuguese, but I had to say that! Lol, I spoke of Banksy and then you do this NP, let's continue to talk about his arts.
    Did you know that he comercialized illegally 100 copies I guess gossiping Paris Hilton's albums? And he also did an expo in L.A. with an elephant painted!
    He also paints animals sometimes, to express his feelings about our decaying society
    .
    I guess, you may know that if you are a serious Banksy fan, I love his arts!

    Interesting pictures...

    I'd like to do something like that sometimes, but not outside my house or a notepad.


    Wow, three posts, three Portuguese.

    It isn't that dificult... the only problem is that it hurts you hands while you're cutting... if you want to do manually! But nowadays, with all these improvements, there are machines capable of doing this kind of thing...
    Street art is in everywhere, lol. Try checking some stencils at you neighbourhood for example... There are also stickers, posters, ocasionally some stupid and strange stuff...
    Try going here. That's the best website I know for these kind of things...
    For stencil try here.

    Now I've remembered: you've got to check this article about Banksy! BBC made it!
