One night when Banksy fled after the cops showed up when he was vandalizing he was stuck hiding under a garbage truck and realised the stenciled lettering on the truck.Now to create his work he uses stencils to hasten the process.As he is less likely to be caught by the police.
Bansky`s art contains messages addressing politics,philosophy, sociology, narcissism and humor.
Keith Haring was political when it came to educating people on preventing AIDS/HIV epidemic, greed, racism and ecological disaster.
Banksy on the other hand addressed global warming, homosexuality, militarism,evolution, the "war on terror" and many more issues.
Banksy recently did a street show in NYC called "better out than in". During his residency he created a piece everyday for a month. The people of the city would have to find it each day.
