Banksy.

If you have not watched Banksy's "Exit Through the Gift Shop" yet, there is still time before the Academy Awards. Go! Hilarious, inspiring, educational, and tragicomic. A tale of friendship, obsession, and commerce juxtaposed with the underground world of street art. Go watch!

Quick catch-up: who is Banksy? Nobody really knows. Or rather, the majority of people don’t know, including myself, definitively. He is an enormously talented and savagely-witted artist who has transcended the roots of street art and graffiti to become a major influence and provocateur across the world. His identity remains a closely-guarded secret, and if I am right (see below), then I shall continue to preserve his dignity, identity, and complete sense of privacy, should I be correct (see snap below, which I have heavily edited in defense of his privacy).

Anonymous gentleman walking in a major city in the United States who may or may not be Banksy. Probably not, but do we really know? No, probably not. Rest my case.
