Perhaps the most notoriously unidentified graffiti artist of all time has been photographed (or has he??).  At least that’s what a recent TIME article is reporting.  Known for his beautifully subversive works, Banksy has been compared to Andy Warhol for his consumerism and pop-culture shish-kebabbing.

From the TIME article:

Banksy’s art is frequently political, often funny and always outré. He has fashioned a replica of Stonehenge out of portable toilets, spray-painted animals and released an inflatable Guantanamo Bay prisoner doll at Disneyland. He has portrayed Queen Elizabeth II as a chimpanzee, rebranded Warhol’s iconic Campbell Soup can with a Tesco Value logo, and scrawled “Mind the Crap” on the steps of the Tate Britain museum. Banksy may be reclusive, but he’s not without a sense of humor.

He may also revile capitalism, but that hasn’t prevented his pieces for for selling for big bucks (over $1 million for a collection of ten pieces, according to TIME).  Yet no matter how many times he calls the kettle black, dude is scathing with a stencil and a can of spray paint.
