Graffiti, vandalism, policitcal statement, or Art?<\/h2>\n

Sometimes, there are people who go do the darndest things… but you end up loving them anyways.<\/p>\n

Such is a man called Banksy,<\/em><\/a> who is notoriously known (and wanted) in the UK for his penchant of secretly putting up works of art of “subversive political nature” in public places (Parks, Museums, etc.)<\/p>\n
