BANKSY NEWS

I've been writing about Banksy, the anonymous British street artist who just so happens to come from the same beautiful city as me -- Bristol in southwest England -- for more than a decade. With my interest in his street art first piqued by seeing his stencils around the city in the early-2000s, since becoming a journalist a few years later I've covered most of his exhibitions and guerrilla art installations and interviewed several Banksy-adjacent people -- from his former manager and the man who's aerosol art project inspired him to other artists he used to hang out with. I'm yet to interview the man himself, though.
