Banksy's style and humor

Published February 18, 2011

Several examples of graffiti bearing the hallmarks of Banksy's style and humor have turned up in areas of the city in recent days, including a Charlie Brown figure apparently bent on arson, and a cocktail-swigging Mickey Mouse

But in Hollywood another graffiti was ripped down, amid sightings of other pieces in a reported pre-Oscars publicity stunt in LA. Banksy is nominated for best documentary for “Exit Through the Gift Shop” at the Oscars, due to be announced on February 27 at the climax of Tinseltown's annual awards season.
