Banksy
First things second. I am doing this post to do the post directly after this. I figure, before telling you the super genius thing that Banksy did a few days ago, I better tell you who he is. Well, sorta. Nobody know who he is. Most importantly, the authorities of England don't know who he is. Banksy is, in loose terms, a graffiti artist. But more so, he is simply a damn good artist. The picture directly above was planted in the Natural History Museum in New York. "Withus Oragainstus" was removed from the museum after being planted. It's a dead beetle with missiles and a satellite dish glued onto it. On the same day, in New York, Banksy planted five works in five different museums. He is well known for his stencil work in London and Bristol, England. He has turned down a deal with Nike. He get's 25 grand or higher for a canvas. Members of Portishead and Massive Attack have been seen buying his works at shows. The night before the Tuner Prize at the Tate gallery in London, he stenciled "mind the crap" on every step leading to the doors. And then this year, he vacationed in Israel...Wiki article on Banksy
