Same shit can be said with Shepherd Fairley if you want to talk about mainstream appeal...along with a gang of other famous new age "urban" artists
I never really saw all of Banksy's work until I read through his book
But I think any art that inspires or creates change in thought in another human being is good art
So to say he didn't do anything clever is quite the understatement
