    <body><![CDATA[Banksy...ah. One of my favorite artistes...Yes, I mean to say that in French, because it sounds better. Anywho, Banksy, a classic Guerilla-Political-Mad-Skilled stencil artist-OK, so he's a graffitti artist. But in this book, you realize just from the photoes that he's a quick-witted guy, with a mysterious twang, which is really cool. His classic humor includes spraypainting on farm animals and a fetish for stencilling rats. My brother, a stencil artist who prefers painting his stencils onto classy tees, really looks up to Banksy. <br/>Imagine being so good at something illegal that sometimes workers with the law praise you for it. <br/>That's Banksy. He's so good at his job that he gets paid for it, has sponsors, and should he spraypaint near a neighborhood, the locals have an election to see whether or not Banksy's work should get destroyed or stay as an eternal mark of his art. I'm not sure he's ever lost!<br/>This book is very excellent, and it's quite the shame you can't see the back cover, but look for it! I purchased my brother this book for the hols and I must admit...I have swiped it and looked through it numerous times. I can't get enough of the one of Charles Manson as a hitchhiker with a sign stating, &quot;Anywhere&quot; craftily placed in his left hand. Pretty cool!]]></body>
