Besides being political, provocative, rather large and of course brilliant, his art was placed in highly visible places. Even though he is 'anonymous', I'm sure he's done some effective P.R.( besides stenciling public spaces) in the way of press releases, website promotion, resumes and such.Since Banksy made the lifesize stencil famous (even though he ripped off his Rat image from an older French artist without crediting him) no one can stencil their town without now being said to have been influenced by the famous Banksy. Actually,after seeing the work of Banksy, I will no longer try to fool myself into thinking I was ever a clever artist. So I have stopped making art and now spend my free time on "4Chan" and "/b/", now that's art!

∙ 12y agoBanksy's work may be the most famous street art in the world, but the man who inspired him to first take out his stencils and spray paints in the dead of night was Richard Hambleton. Known as the 'Godfather of Street Art', the Canadian first made his mark in the Seventies painting chalk outlines with red blood across numerous North American cities.
