    Man, the combination of your documentary style with the really interesting subjects you decide to talk about creates an unparalleled content in music/art yt sphere. I used to think that reading biographies or being obsessed with learning about a famous figure was something that only really big fans or ppl who had just too much time did, but now I see that it can be very inspirational and eye-opening. Thanks so so much for the video,keep posting so we have more items to binge watch

    this is a cool documentary but as your title says 'arts bad boy' he's actually graffs reject. hes whether intentionally or not sold himself out and now you would be hard pressed to find a graff writer or a street artist who would work with him. he started beef with king Robbo (RIP), he stole the rat design from Blek le Rat who was doing it years before in paris. now his work is protected by cops while real writers are buffed everyday. he did make a nice tribute piece for Alone (RIP) his anonymity is a novelty but to anyone that writes its a necessity. every time i tell someone about graff they assume its flowers or all political but its really about anarchy, fame and fun. he might end up an art legend but everyone on the inside knows where he came from and how he got where he is. if you want to know more you should watch the documentary Banksy vs Robbo its on youtube

    • @ms.bunniesarecute2287
      @ms.bunniesarecute2287 3 года назад +3

      Thats all true, but it doesn't mean the mad work he's put in is somehow invalid because he had beef with dead writers... even those writers are so e Graff legends...so is Banksy. Hes more of a street artist than having a love affair with letters...but when it comes to getting up...Banksy has mastered it. First street artist to become a worldwide phenom. Im not a huge fan either...but I ave mad respectful him. Whats he's accomplished is mind blowing

    • @mr.rigger619
      @mr.rigger619 2 года назад

      @@ms.bunniesarecute2287 banksy has nothing to do with graffiti, making stencils is ALOT easier than actually painting what he puts up, just another political piece or general hipster bs art. dont associate banksy with graffiti at all. theres alot more street artists who dont use easy stencils that are also just at up there as him producing better pieces/murals. nothing about him is mind blowing and all art is only a small personal accomplishment that non artist people look at for brief pleasure. unless you want an original for yourself or commission art work, it should be worth nothing but your own pride and effort. no one in the graff scene has respect for banksy, team robbo all the way. yeah sure hes gonna do his thing but he knows himself that where he came from isnt what he is has been and will be. (i think he actually used to write but not much at all not sure) strictly from a writers perspective. ffs id rather have the stig do a crayon picture for me thatll be more intriguing.

    I went along to a group show at a gallery space in Hoxton at around the year 2000. It was at the Centre of Attention which was a living room space in a warehouse conversion. Among the works was Banksy's monkey queen union jack painting. Most people had seen his stencils around town and there was a buzz about his work. I got talking to the curator and he says 'oh yeah Banksy is just over there - do you wanna meet him?'. I had a moment of embarrassment and then said, 'err, no it's OK I will just look at the painting.' It was kind of like that - the artist community had all seen his stuff and rated it, but also respected that he wanted to remain anonymous.
