-------------------- So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

His real name is unknown but they beleive him to be British. That is where most of his work takes place.
I love the picture of the little kid with his bucket and shovel. He painted that on the barricade of the West Bank in Israel.

"Banksy recently made a trip to the West Bank, where he painted massive images of escape and freedom on the 25-foot high “seperation wall” the Israeli government built to divide Israel from the Palestinian territories. The pieces themselves — scissors cutting the wall, ladders, windows that look out at idyllic scenery, a girl floating by clutching ballons — are astounding. They’re huge in scope, many of them are mixed media, and their vision of simple, joyous human freedom and possibilty is almost heartbreakingly beautiful, especially as they have Banksy’s characteristic humor. The fact that they’re painted on the “apartheid wall” — a much-condemned symbol of hopelessness and oppression — is an act of bravery and generosity."
