back in march, the Scotsman had an article of the 9 best guerrilla artists over the years. my favorite of them all being Banksy, made the list of course.
his political and social satire is unmatched in my eyes. every time i see something new from this guy, it amazes me how simple but profound his images can be. usually the dramatic environment adds to the effect.
but it must be weird being so famous and not be able to tell anyone except your lawyer(s), and maybe your significant other(s). (s)he obviously isn't in it for the fame. it's always hard to find people you can trust anyways. i wonder if (s)he is planning on telling the world when (s)he is on his or her deathbed. that would be sad and pretty cool at the same time.
