About a year ago, I read this great article in the New Yorker about Banksy. If you don’t know who Banksy is, you’ll want to do the same. It’s a great read, even if it is a little long (it’s the New Yorker after all).

At the time, the masked graffiti ace garnered much of his mystique from his unknown identity. He had a very public yet anonymous profile, the ultimate shrug at the organized art world. Yet his paintings have been selling for six (or even seven?) figures.

Well, I was intrigued, but The Daily Mail appears to have outted our man! Not sure how to take this one. As much as I was dying to uncover the mystery, I think it was more fun when he was anonymous.
