That wall is a monstrosity.

God I love that guy!
I would give anything to actually meet him.

Does anyone know how he actually looks, no police records, documents?

I mean that the idea of building an ugly, imposing gray wall to keep people away from each other is stone-age thinking.  I love the art on the wall, and find it powerful and resonant.  But the wall itself...the wall is a monstrosity, and it should be torn down. Building a Wall does not Solve a Problem.

Agreed.
My family has a piece of the Berlin Wall. It makes me happy though b/c since they did graffiti all over the walls, It's now a broken piece of colorful concrete wall. So different now from when it got put up in the beginning.

I like how there's a new banksy thread every few months. He's the Michael Jordan of vandalism...an inspiration to youth everywhere.

i watched some youtube video where he like replaced the cd covers of one of those pop-queen divas like jessica or britney or someone. it was rather entertaining. the guy is so great at making striking socio-economic/political commentary without the use of words.
