Street art prevalent in USA home counties?, by jed100375 on Apr 30, 2008 12:48:06 GMT 1, So we all know that if you were to stop pretty much anyone in Europe and ask 'have you heard of Banksy' you would get a resounding yes.
Although kind of a global name has this reached far flung places such as Oklahoma and other somewhat sheltered states? and if so what is the urban scene like in these places?

Street art prevalent in USA home counties?, by Wearology on May 1, 2008 0:10:45 GMT 1, Very few people know who Banksy is in America - I have a Banksy "Laugh Now" tire cover on my Jeep in New York City and people ask me all the time if I like the "Planet Of The Apes". The only people that have heard of him are those in the underground art scene and a few people that read money magazines such as Forbes. I also have met people that live in the states from Europe that claim to have no idea who he is.

Street art prevalent in USA home counties?, by romanywg on May 1, 2008 0:51:08 GMT 1, I was in my hairdressers just yesterday (don't laugh the people that know me!) and mentioned the word 'Banksy' and couldn't believe that not one person knew who I was talking about! These were trendy young people between the ages of 18-30. I was shocked.

Street art prevalent in USA home counties?, by theperfecttree on May 1, 2008 1:07:20 GMT 1, A year or so ago I graduated from one of the largest universities in the US and hung around a rather eclectic crowd. If anyone would know who he is, it would be these folks. 20-26, well educated, political, into music/art... and I never met anyone who had heard of Banksy there or since.
Maybe he should do a Hillary Rodham poster next to get some recognition here in the states???
i kid of course

Thinking of a project and just wondered if it would fall on deaf ears... and before anyone says it....it has nothing to do with the babyu image!!
