there are a lot of alley ways in the area around my office and writers are free to have at it. Some pretty good work. We also have an annual graf festival in the area and it's pretty cool to see guys in the middle of the day practicing their art.

yes , the proper graff artists are overlooked. but banksy is one of the only great stencil painters around.
his work is political and spot on to the world around us.

Have to agree Mr.S, Banksy has some excellent ideas and i think his stencil format works really well. I love his thought provoking work.

Couldn't have put it better.
Dialekt, I don't think you could really call Banksy a writer to be honest and I doubt he'd call himself one. He's a stencil artist so comparing him to more traditional graff artists is a bit pointless really if you ask me, can see your point though as I am a lover of graff
Any more info on your jam? I'm sure there's a few heads on here who'd like to hear more
Wishing it was like the old days again
