BANKSY

I like all of Banksy’s pieces, despite their illegality. They are very artistic with a twist of satirical humor. Graffiti is a great form of art. It is a sketchy form of art, with many consequences if Banksy were to be caught. Tagging a building is also art, because it is like a signature. Tagging your work, and claiming your territory, is showing dominance in the underground tagging world. Banksy’s real name obviously isn’t Banksy, because then he would be telling the world who he is. Effectively turning himself in. Many graffiti artists do not tag in public areas, but rather in areas where other taggers have been. But showing your work to the public is essential for Banksy, because he has made a name for himself, and is well known now.
