Kept me occupied for an hour

I was looking through Banksy's website.

He's a graffiti artist from Bristol who had and will continue to commit subversive acts in public. His art, when viewed with an open mind, a sense of humour and some thinking will leave one smiling - poignantly, perhaps.

Those familiar with Blur's Think Tank album would have seen his art before.

"The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit." - Banksy
