    Banksy's identity was widely known among early UK graff writers. It's a testament to the respect for the guy, and the people in the scene that his anonymity has been upheld.

    He was never the bad boy of art. He used to poke fun at everyone from other artists to "art critics", society. That's why he's loved. He doesn't take himself seriously

      It seems that he only cares about doing trendy things and that's why is his owm fault what he became.
      The beauty of artist like Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Van gogh is they were in love with painting some of them were shit other were amazing but the just painted thousands of them.
      They inspired generations of artist to fall in love with art and with the simple purpose of just expressing your soul.
      Banksy art is like a cool tshirt you wanna wear just to show your friend you are cool and even though wearing Banksy clothing became quite lame nowadays.

      But one have to recall that Banksy smuggled two of his painting in the Louvre museum in the middle of the day after they spent months analyzing how the guards moved. They chose the only time where there would be an in-between pause between the guard taking lunches and hired a fake gay couple who started to fight at the entrance so the two remaining guards inside the museum had to go there.
      They found the paintings sticked to the walls with epoxy, two portraits of the Queen with a monkey face that were to well-executed that it took someone who looked closely to actually tell the museum about it.
      They also painted on the border of Gaza which is protected by snipers 24/7 and smuggled a giant inflatable doll of Mickey Mouse in an orange prisoner jacket, in Disney World, in the middle of the day.
      I personally know someone who worked with Banksy and have no idea of their identity (even their voice is changed and they always wear a mask).
      My hypothesis is that there is indeed a much bigger team behind the Banksy phenomenon. Can't be one person, but I don't think they collaborated directly with Sotheby's.

    this is a cool documentary but as your title says 'arts bad boy' he's actually graffs reject. hes whether intentionally or not sold himself out and now you would be hard pressed to find a graff writer or a street artist who would work with him. he started beef with king Robbo (RIP), he stole the rat design from Blek le Rat who was doing it years before in paris. now his work is protected by cops while real writers are buffed everyday. he did make a nice tribute piece for Alone (RIP) his anonymity is a novelty but to anyone that writes its a necessity. every time i tell someone about graff they assume its flowers or all political but its really about anarchy, fame and fun. he might end up an art legend but everyone on the inside knows where he came from and how he got where he is. if you want to know more you should watch the documentary Banksy vs Robbo its on youtube

Im not a huge fan either...but I ave mad respectful him. Whats he's accomplished is mind blowing

      @@ms.bunniesarecute2287 banksy has nothing to do with graffiti, making stencils is ALOT easier than actually painting what he puts up, just another political piece or general hipster bs art. dont associate banksy with graffiti at all. theres alot more street artists who dont use easy stencils that are also just at up there as him producing better pieces/murals. nothing about him is mind blowing and all art is only a small personal accomplishment that non artist people look at for brief pleasure. unless you want an original for yourself or commission art work, it should be worth nothing but your own pride and effort. no one in the graff scene has respect for banksy, team robbo all the way. yeah sure hes gonna do his thing but he knows himself that where he came from isnt what he is has been and will be. (i think he actually used to write but not much at all not sure) strictly from a writers perspective. ffs id rather have the stig do a crayon picture for me thatll be more intriguing.
