If you haven't heard of Banksy you're missing out! He is known for his amazing stencil art and graffiti work that is all over the world. Major celebrities have gotten tattoos and art work from this artist because he leaves us with breathtaking images. The thing that attracts fans to Banksy is that he remains anonymous meaning that there are no photos of his face and he does his work very secretly meaning that nobody catches him planting his work on the walls of London, New York, or anywhere else.
Banksy is controversial and his art is definitely one that creates conversations among the crowds of people who walk buy it each day. He is the type of artist that property owners approve of to create art on their property because of the value of his work. He stands out from the crowd, he is provocative and his work is admired by people all over.

Mural by Graffiti Artist Kenny Scharf
If you walk along Bowery Street in New York City you will notice a beautiful Mural by artist Kenny Scharf. This art work is bright, colorful, and full of grins. It is thought provoking and makes the viewer think, why are these faces grinning and smiling at me? In my opinion it is quite disturbing but beautiful! I love the cartoonish look of it but also just the way the work blends together.
Will you be taking a visit to Bowery Street in NYC? If you do don't forget to pass by and take some amazing photos of this mural.

Graffiti comes in many forms like Paper
I truly wish I could create art work this beautiful. This is an amazing work of art on paper. The Graffiti is classic and stands out with a 3D look. It looks like the art is going to pop out at you. I admire the artist who created this work. I like the grimacing looks on the faces and the colors that make the work stand out it is a piece that feels like something out of a psychological horror movie. If you look closely at the eyes of the characters created in this art you could see a menacing look as if they're mischievous. Many great artist create art because its the easiest way to express themselves so if you're seeing that their characters look angry or mischievous that is because the artist subconsciously feels that way. Art is not only created to evoke feeling but to express feeling as well, it is like a poet conveying his or her thoughts and feelings in their journal, art is the same.

Kid's Create Art on Vintage Chair
Now don't go drawing all over grandma's old chair
This is how you make something vintage look really amazing. I love the idea the parent's of these kids had to turn an old chair into a master piece. These kids did an excellent job decorating this chair and giving it a really cool spring/summertime look.

Graffiti Eye by Karl Penguin
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Graffiti is a form of art that is different, stands out and stands tall. According to Study.com "Modern graffiti art can be traced to the late 1960s in the United States. However, the history of graffiti goes much further back to ancient times. " Graffiti art is undeniably one of the most underrated types of art form but every true artist knows that it is one of the most important contribution to the art lifestyle.
For people living in the city we take graffiti art for granted and underestimate the important influence it has on our world and that is creativity. Creativity is something we are all born with but as we grow older the mundane tasks of life start taking over our minds and become attached to us like leeches.
We must not forget that any type of art form is an expression of something and expression and signs are important. One of the worlds most ancient and famous philosopher Confucius once said “Signs and Symbols Rule the world, not rules and law” and this is true just look at the world around us. We use symbols for everything, iPhone apps and company logos. Graffiti is underestimated but overly beautiful don't forget to share your thoughts in the comment section below. Thank you for reading!
