The Sun | “Banksy In His Own Words”
“Bristol-born Banksy is hugely popular worldwide, his guerilla-style graffiti his calling card. Yet for 18 years he has succeeded where The Stig failed – and kept his identity totally secret. Who is he? That’s the question on the lips of everyone from trendy youngsters to the snobbish art world elite. For the first time ever, the street artist has spoken at length about his amazing rise from a spray-can-toting youth, to someone whose work sells for £1million a time to Hollywood’s A-listers. And The Sun is the first to bring you the interview.”
