Some of my favourite art work is graffiti art. I have to admit that it started with the arrival of Banksy. I followed all the hype, something I don’t usually do, and I became a dedicated fan owning all of his books and even seeing his movie. I then went on to own more graffiti books including ‘Untitled’ which is where most of these images come from (images in the appendix). I love his wild sense of humour and his mix of irony in his pieces. I also like that fact that no one knows his identity which I think adds pride to his work. The book also shows other graffiti work from artists that have been knocking around for a while or those that have just started and are wanting to be like Banksy. I believe that these are art work, depict what some critics might say, and that they are a art for a modern generation making them accessible to everyone and brightening up our down-in-the-dumps streets. Picture 6 in appendix shows art from other graffiti artists that are published in the book ‘untitled’. I scanned these images in but they would not upload to blogger.
