artists.

i really enjoyed looking through all of these artists works! I find Bansky's work interesting, even though graffiti is a common medium, i think that Bansky's work is uniquely inventive. The images he paints on the sides of buildings almost seem real, as if you could just walk up and talk to one of his characters. I really enjoyed reading about his inspiration as well.

I also really liked Joy Garnetts work. She uses iinternet images, and has a way of turning even the most tragic inspirations (hurrican katrina etc.) into beautiful paintings. I think the idea that something so "ugly" can be turned into something so beautiful through someone elses portrayal of that event is very interesting.
