Alright so a while back I learned about this amazing Street Artist named Banksy. Banksy began as a freehand graffiti artist 1992–1994 as one of Bristol's DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ), with Kato and Tes. He was inspired by local artists and his work was part of the larger Bristol underground scene. From the start he used stencils as elements of his freehand pieces, too. By 2000 he had turned to the art of stencilling after realising how much less time it took to complete a piece. He claims he changed to stencilling whilst he was hiding from the police under a rubbish lorry, when he noticed the stencilled serial number and by employing this technique, he soon became more widely noticed for his art around Bristol and London. Today Banksy continues his Street Art with different styles. Trying to make people realize how the world around them really is. For example Banksy is also credited for the very controversial Opening Couch Gag from the Simpsons depicting people working in deplorable conditions and using endangered or mythical animals to make both the episodes cel-by-cel and the merchandise connected with the program. Anyways, I'm going to put up some pictures of Banksy's work and ill add the Simpsons opening for those who like the Simpsons.
