James Poulos Writes In Defense of Guerrilla Street Art
Bansky does more than commit an act of crime or commerce
To be a brand name in guerilla street art is to be in exclusive company. And no one has built a bigger brand imposing his stencils, spray paintings, and sculptures on the world than Banksy.
