Bansky identity is still secret, according to author and graphic designer Tristan Manco and the book Home Sweet Home, Banksy 'was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England'. 

He became famous after his film 'Exit From The Gift Shop' with Mr. Brainwash.

He use stencil as a techniques and also graffiti. 

I think there a problem in what is happening in the art market but also in some governments, because they keep his pieces in the streets and his work gets to be sold at some ridiculous prices. 

When you now that people go jail in England for a piece of graffiti on metal or eather plastic, who ask you questions when in the other part a name as the one 'Banksy' is taken thousand times in pictures.

After the buzz on Banksy, the art market has been changes with a considerance of the street art, with artists like 'Space Invaders, Jonone, Blek Le Rat, Banksy...

Abuz

The start of this project was at the beginning of the year I've started to design this illustration in my sketchbook. After a week on it, I wasn't so sure what to do. But with time I saw that around me, in university and also in my friend group, we can start work together as a collectives and that every person can be a task different in what there specialities are.
  Then I found a fabric who had good selling prices for a amount of 50 t-shirts so I went straight to it !
And now, more than half is sold and I'm glad that people liked it.
I'm now thinking starting to do something really serious and try to make a sort of brand that sell is one products and design on paper, canvas or clothes for clients.

Don't Abuse to much.

  I've started in the street buy painting on wall and practicing all the time the same letters to understand how the spray cans are working and what effects you can make with it. Last summer I was working with the artists Lucy & Jorge Orta on installations cold "Antartica World Passport Distribution". It was exposed in a gallery in Southbank center of London and also at 'Le Jardin des Plantes' in Paris. These installations represent a hut where you can be given a passport who is based on the Humans rights and on the borders all over the world. My work was to do my piece of graffiti on a side of the hut with the words 'No borders, Free, 13.3 and Welcome'.

Surrealism Fruit Machine Icons

Get Fruity !

The three designs represent the rotating icons for a surrealist fruit machine.

I was inspired by Salvador Dali (important painter and sculptor of surrealism) for the drips on the water melon and the pear. For the diamond, i tried to keep the same technique by doing the drips with triangle shapes.

I have also been inspired by Andre Breton (important writer and poet of surrealism). I have been searching on him and find some nice collage and picture from A.Breton. So for the pear, I've add a grenade pin.
As I stayed in a surrealism style, I wanted to have my own techniques in the work so I thought about taking few details of a serralism artwork or understanding and try to re-apply it.

He created Pirtle Design in 1978, the firm produced a lot of celebrated graphic design work, identity and marketing materials.
