Monday's Special #2

Many are familiar with the street graffiti work of Banksy, but here is a little more about him and his movement.  He was born in 1974 in Bristol, England.  His works are often satirical pieces on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics.


As of date he has hundreds of street works and is featured in various art galleries and museums.  Another one of his more famous pieces:


"If you have a statue in the city centre, you could go past it every day on your way to school and never even notice it, right - but as soon as someone puts a traffic cone on its head, you've made your own sculpture."
-Banksy
