Video: Tonight’s Simpsons Episode Opening Storybooked and Directed by Banksy

Wow, how could something like this have been kept under wraps for so long? Guess it come with the territory. With one of the most closely guarded identities of all time for a street artist, Banksy must be used to keeping secrets.

Video: ABOVE – “Because Now I’m Worth It”

When ABOVE (interviewed) spotted a sweet opportunity on the streets recently in the form of what looked like a frame on a public wall, many different options ran though his head. He finally settled on creating a piece as a play on the fact that Banksy’s street work gets taken so often by unscrupulous “collectors” and the irony of the fact that originally before Banksy’s mass appeal, he painted his popular rat image that read, “Because I’m worthless.” Read more ABOVE’s thoughts behind the piece […]
