Amazing.
It's by Banksy- a British street graffiti artist and political activist who's real name and identity is hidden.
Someone showed me his stuff, and being a fan of modern art myself, I'm interested.
Little is known about him, but Wikipedia says:
According to author and graphic designer Tristan Manco, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England.The son of a photocopier technician, he trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s.
Rumor has it he's up for an award soon and despite his anonymity, he will be accepting it in person. The conflict is that he's "vandalized" numerous public property and buildings throughout London with his art, and that he'll more than likely be penalized for it.
He's also done work in the United States, in New Orleans and Los Angeles.
Anyone who's interested in modern art should take a look.
