Shepard Fairey Interviews Banksy

Huge artists getting together apparently is the new thing. In this Swindle Magazine article Shepard Fairey gets to some of Banksys thoughts on his mural in Palestine (below), his anonymity and how he feels about the art world. Very cool and interesting read if you got 10 minutes.

“Every graffiti writer should go there. They’re building the biggest wall in the world. I painted on the Palestinian side, and a lot of them weren’t sure about what I was doing. They didn’t understand why I wasn’t just writing “down with Israel” in big letters and painting pictures of the Israeli prime minister hanging from a rope.”
