I like a lot of graffiti art - not the usual stuff, but well drawn, meaningful stuff, e.g. the kind of thing you see at http://www.woostercollective.com/ (check it out)

but none comes close to Banksy. The guy is a fucking legend. Check out his stuff on his website, http://www.banksy.co.uk/

Not just his art, but where he puts it: he's done stuff on the Israeli/Palestine wall, he's hung his works in the National Gallery, Natural History Museum, British Museum, etc


some examples I like:

it's well worth looking his stuff up, either on his website (where he's put newspaper clippings of his exploits gluing up his own 'paintings' alongside works in the Tate Modern, to MOMA in new york, or graffing the Palestinian wall whilst he had warning shots fired over his head by israeli soldiers :P

Didn't he recently have an exhibition in London, in which he had a load of free roaming rats?

Anyone go to it?
