Banksy (real name Robert Banks, according to The Guardian) is a prolific graffiti artist born in 1974 in Bristol, England, whose artwork has appeared throughout London and other locations around the world.
The registrant of Banksy's website is one Stephen Lazarides, a photographer, and it has been suggested that Lazarides is Banksy. However, Lazarides apparently claims to be Banksy's manager, and is credited with much of the photography in one of Banksy's recent publication, Banging Your Head Against A Brick Wall.
Lazarides now has a gallery on Greek St in London's Soho called Laz Inc, where Banksy originals can be bought, and also manages a website, picturesonwalls.com, which has the exclusive sale rights for all of Banksy's cheaper limited edition prints.
