Banksy is a legend and a mystery, and he strikes again.
This time in Palestine, painting pictures on the Israeli security barrier. Genius.
There's a rather lame PR-ed version of the story on the BBC site at the mo (http://newswww.bbc.net.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts/4748063.stm) but if you want to see his telling of it go to: http://www.banksy.co.uk/news/index.html
But his work's not just funny or weird or graffiti or "destructive to property"- it's art, it's social commentary, it's campaigning. And I wish I was half as clever and/or half as ballsy as him.

I absolutely love Banksy's stuff.
I've always thought most graf is art anyway, but this chappy takes it to a whole new level.
And Banksy is a good name. Like that tree protester guy from years ago. Crusty or Washy or Stumpy or something... Swampy, that's it.
