Buzzell, Colby. “I am Banksy: a phantom with a stencil and a can of spray paint, maybe the premier “guerilla street artist” in the word, Banksy is almost impossible to find, but his work is everywhere and he makes people very, very happy.” Esquire 26 Feb. 2009 <>.

This source is an interview of the author himself on the search for Banksy. While he’s searching for Banksy, he comes up with ideas and understandings along the way of Banksy’s graffiti art.

This article gives a brief description of Banksy’s reputation. His past work has been successful and has brought inspiration. The main reason his portrait is failing to sell at the auction is because of economy. Overall, Banksy has done quite a job in his work of fortunes.

Mendick, Robert. “Bankskies? Don’t bank on it: gone to market: Fungle Junk, which was painted on a trailer at the lizard festival in Cornwall in 1999, is estimated at 150,000 but has not been authenticated by Banksy. Far left refuse rat is another image the artist s refusing to claim as his.” The Evening Standard 26 Sep. 2008 .

This review criticizes on Banksy’s graffiti art. Banksy claims that millions of his work is fakes, meaning it’s not his. From my point of view, I don’t believe it because it most likely is his for the public. Banksy does basically want no acknowledgement at all and for the public to have a response from propaganda.
