"I DON'T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING, I'M JUST HERE FOR THE VIOLENCE"

If you've never heard of or seen the works of the graffiti artist Banksy, then I suggest you brush up quickly.  His works are provocative and insightful with a dash of whimsy.  He is notorious for being reclusive, and there are few, if any, published photographs of him.  His aura is reminiscent of Warhol, Basquiat and Haring, and I generally adore him.  This week's New Yorker has an interesting piece on the man and his growing myth.
