very, very cool


Banksy is, I suspect, a little bit nuts, but for all those who engage in protest art, this is the real deal.

This is briliant.
A life-size replica of a Guantanamo Bay detainee has been placed in Disneyland by "guerrilla artist" Banksy.
The hooded figure was placed inside the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride at the California theme park last weekend.
(read the rest)
he is also supposedly behind some of the stencils on the wall in Palestine, Check out this.

Someone told me some of the art on the wall in the OT looks to be Chicano-based. Does anyone know about that or have any picts I could see? Thanks.

Comments:
The article on Banksy is too funny! Unfortunately, I don't think Americans (being really too much of the follow the leader, sheep type, sorry guys) could not appreciate the humour what not with all their 'law and order' attitude. To think that his one painting in this British museum went unnoticed for three days is hilarious!)
Can't shed any light on the style though
