Graffiti Art

There are many types of graffiti used all of the world. Some of it really amazing and others are just kind of ugly tags of random peoples names. But my personal favorite type of graffiti is stencil art. Stenciling is a very precise art used by many of the most famous graffiti artists in the world. A few of these incredibly famous people are Blek Le Rat and Banksy. Blek le Rat being the original stenciler and Banksy being the most known graffiti artist in the entire world.

Blek le Rat is know as the "original" graffiti artist because he started doing stenciling before anyone else started stenciling. His first stencil was rats spray painted all over the city and he described them as the only free thing in the city. From then on he has made beautiful stencil art displayed in many museums all around the world. Here is some of his art:



Next we have Banksy, he is obviously one of the most known graffiti artists. He spreads his messages well a really knows how to put his art out there. When he wants to prove something he does it a has work to show for it. Banksy main type of art is also stenciling. And it is clearly amazing.
