Recently, the Texas A&M campus in Commerce, TX has been vandalized by spray painted graffiti. This was first evident when workers found this figure spray painted on the outer walls of the campus' science building. It appears to be a mimic of the world wide popular graffiti artists known only as Banksy. His style uses detailed stencils to create his extreme pieces of often political and controversial art. Little is known about Banksy, not even his name. His work has made him famous, however not always for the better. Since graffiti is in most parts of the country considered vandalism, Banksy creates his well planned attacks in secret, leaving only the art to speak for itself. Whether you indorse his artwork or not he has become a symbol to the art community and it seems as if some students have taken it upon themselves to honor Banksy in their own way.
