Robert "Banksy" Banks


My artist for my presentation on February 14th is Robert "Banksy" Banks. He was an English graffiti artist from Yate (near Bristol, England). He was born in 1974, and was the son of a photocopier engineer. Banks was originally trained as a butcher, but then later got into graffiti art in the 1980's. His work is usually filled with satire and focuses on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics.

so this is your artist for your presentation? or are you wanting this to count for your sketchbook #3 post?

I was thinking of having this be for my sketchbook post #3 because when I actually put my artist up I will have links and stuff. If this is okay, let me know otherwise I'd be happy to post another one.
