It’s not street art London without mentioning Banksy. When searching for 'graffiti artist for hire near me' the Google search page is overwhelmed with discussions of Banksy and his identity. Every street art tour in London also contains stops to his work. He is everywhere! Arguably, globally, Banksy is the most known street artist outside of the street art community. His "murals" or stencils are most usually illegal hence his reason for anonymity. The stencils are often humorous images containing thought-provoking messages of anti-war, anti-capitalism or anti-establishment. Those who have had the opportunity to discover the man behind the mural described him as a "white, scruffy casual man, with a silver tooth." A remarkably unidentifiable description. Unfortunately, due to his reputation, finding an intact, original piece can be difficult. Many Banksy mural paintings get painted over or are illegally tagged.
