Also Banksy is definitely one guy, he has a history of graf and street art. Its just that these days he makes enough to hire help and art production assistants. He has PR people, an agent, they don't all know who he is though. He functions and works like any other high profile artist just more secretively. A friend of miine said his assistants went into a graf/ painting store and bought a bunch of stuff.
He sells his work privately through art dealers, makes a lot I'm sure. I'm pretty sure he gets a part of the Exit Through the GIftshop Window movie. Does he have merchandise? I don't know I doubt it. This whole NYC thing just makes his profile bigger and his art, his brand, more valuable.
Just saying because there seems to be some confusion about it.

How could you not like him? He's got the entire world watching and teams of cops trying to figure out how/when to catch him...

I don't think the police are actively trying very hard to find him. There is nothing in it, he does like misdemeanor level vandalism. He isn't defacing valuable and important property or doing anything outright offensive. Also it would be really bad PR if they actually busted him and tried to charge him with something. It would be incredibly difficult legally anyway. They are just making it appear as if they are doing something about it to make it look like they are doing the right thing, basically using him for there own PR reasons.
- I seen cops bust graffiti artists when they showed up to graffiti festival ny.question is who he isyurimon
- The police probably had been building a case on him for several years.uuuuuu
- They would have had enough evidence and complaits/ reports against him to drag him in front of a judge and prove he caused thousands in property damagesuuuuuu
- ...he caused thousands in property damages. Nobody is likely complaining about Banksy and he picks his locations carefully.uuuuuu

It would be a complete disaster if the NYPD found Banksy, right now the city can't find an autistic boy Avonte Oquendo

Spot on. Corporate banality at it's finest. A shining example of where America is at.
