BANSKY UNMASKED?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!



so apparently a photographer named Peter Dean Rickard took a few snaps awhile back and left the pictures on his site the afflicted yard. After a few years, a someone started to poke around for those pictures and now the New Yorker has published a article unveiling who bansky is! You can see the full story by clicking here.


just in case some of you readers dont know who bansky is....i took the liberty to wiki him for yall.

"Banksy is a well-known yet pseudo-anonymous[1] English graffiti artist, possibly named Robert Banks. It is believed that Banksy is a Yate native (near Bristol.[1]) who was born in 1974[2], but there is substantial public uncertainty about his identity and basic personal and biographical details[3]. His artworks are often satirical pieces of art which encompass topics from politics, culture, and ethics. His street art, which combines graffiti with a distinctive stencilling technique, has appeared in London and in cities around the world."

SUMMARY: BANSKY IS BASICALLY ONE OF THE SICKEST STENCIL GRAFFITI ARTISTS.

I know this is an older post, but I have to say... I'm a long-time avid Banksy fan, and whether this is him or not (I've always just wondered what he looked like,) I'm sincerel hoping it's a hoax, or just a mistake.

Not knowing who he is or what he looks like makes his work that much more interesting, and I don't want him to stop.
