Banksy: Wall and Piece

Banksy: Wall and Piece by Banksy, 207 pages

I'll admit I'm not much one for art books (too heavy and unwieldy, generally speaking). But when this book of Banksy's clever graffiti antics came across my desk as an ILL, I had to check it out. The book is filled with images of Banksy's work, including the works he added to world-famous museums, as well as some of Banksy's thoughts on creating graffiti art (he uses overpasses because the bills of security guard and police hats prevents their wearers from easily noticing things that high). Really, this was a fascinating read, especially in light of how little is actually known about the artist/criminal. Definitely worth perusing.
