Banksy is a graffiti artist and he's really good. In fact, images of his work have peppered StumbleUpon pages for many years now.

Graffiti is a difficult concept to grapple with when the artist is so talented. Cities, towns and building owners do not generally welcome such intrusions.

Banksy is different.

In February of this year, at Fine Art Auctions Miami, a Banksy piece was up on the block. It was, until London residents found out about it and made a fuss to reclaim the piece.
