Bansky
This Bristol born but London based graffiti artist/illustrator has pushed the boundaries in both genres, creating works of art with often a strong political message. His medium is quite obviously stencil/spray-paint and or paint, on canvas as well as public spaces, walls and in one instance a cow. His easily recognisable style is blend of both the anarchistic and the precise, lending his work a unique air of the edgy, bold and striking. In addition to his illustrative style, which has been used and inspired many of the "urban" publications and CD sleeves, his persona itself has generated interest, as no-one has yet to see a photograph of him in print.
