• Last update: 01.13.08 Banksy page updated with pictures and most of editorial was removed

Banksy (taken from wiki) "is a well-known pseudo-anonymous British graffiti artist . His artworks are often- satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His street art , which combines graffiti writing with a distinctive stencilling technique, is similar to Blek le Rat , who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass who maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube System in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His art has appeared in cities around the world."

On a trip to New Orleans Morgan and I were able to see original Banksy artwork still up after his "tour" thru the southern United States. A lot of his artwork is based on the politics, culture and and practiced ethics on the exact spot he has painted. It was not until the reaction from locals towards a piece he placed in Alabama, did I actually realize that people have to live their everyday lives with the message or point he is trying to make. More on this later. Below are some pictures from our trip. Most of the pieces were taken down covered or painted over. PS Isnt Morgan beautiful!
