    Banksy is now a brand more than anything else. It's not important who he is. His work is like a comedy sketch show, some of it hits the mark, some of it is generic, some of it is downright dog-toss. All of this is OK - even Picasso had some shoddy work.

    Ultimately he is just an artist, not a heroic social commentator and savior of the modern world.
