Flagrant Graffiti

I hate graffiti. If you are in the business of tagging walls then you are, unfortunately, an inbred scumbag. Its a good thing I'm not in charge because there would be a good few lashings in Stephens Green for that particular crime.

I'll admit though, my mind would be changed if all graffiti was of the flagrant quality of that done by "Banksy" in England. This guy is very good. He uses stencils to spray these cool and unique pictures. Despite the guff political messages behind his art, theres no denying they look really cool. Most of his work can be seen around Bristol and London. In the last couple years he has started selling some of his art and it has been going for a lot of money.

According to Wikipedia

In February 2007, the owners of a house with a Banksy mural on the side in Bristol decided to sell the house through an art gallery after offers fell through because the prospective buyers wanted to remove the mural. It is listed as a mural which comes with a house attached.
