"Banksy previously believed to be one Robert or Robin Banks and born in 1974/5 in Yate, Bristol.
He doesn't do interviews very often but was interviewed in 2003 by Simon Hattenstone, a reporter for the Guardian newspaper. He described banksy as looking like a "cross between Jimmy Nail and Mike Skinner of the Streets" and turning up wearing scruffy casual jeans and t-shirt, sporting a silver tooth, silver chain and silver earring.
Banksy started doing graffiti when he was 14 years old but admits "I was quite crap with a spray can, so I started cutting out stencils instead." He has come a long way since spraying his tag on the walls of bristol. He changed his stomping ground to Shoreditch in london where you will find lots of his work on display, to holding exhibitions in Los Angeles."

the video i chose was called the "Da Koffee Kup Krew" it was trying to promote anti-littering and i think it was successful in that. I think it is a clever video because its showing the coffee cups being bad to the environment for example, littering and leaving lights on and it gives you different messages as the video goes on. i think the use of comedy in this worked well and the video wouldn't have worked as well without it.Back to TOP
