Banksy

As i was about to head of to bed a name popped into my head and i though a little research couldn't go astray!

An English stenciler. i read quite a bit and wow! I never knew vandalism could be so profitable!

Here ill include two links. The first to his website, the second to a news article about him.

The article about him was very insightful! About him, his work and his doings!
During a exhibition he threw, a few very famous actors, Brad Pitt, Angelia Jolie, Judd Law and Keanu Reeves actually showed up and brought some of his pieces!

He sold one for $570,000! He stated on his website, "I can't believe you morons buy this shit!"

Banksy has now actually become a house hold name in England and has been on the news and in the newspaper more then 50 times already!

He rarely does any shows but there are a few places he likes to do them. One of them being war zones! Along the West Bank Barrior in Palestinian Territories Banksy created 9 pieces.
This is a bit of a conversation recorded...

Soldier: What the f*** are you doing?
Banksy: You'll have to wait until it's finished.
Soldier (to colleagues): Safety's off
