Exit Through the Gift Shop

The notorious (yet anonymous) Banksy just finished producing his first feature film. The street artist turned filmmaker put himself in front of the camera (completely blacked out and rocking a weird british synth voice) so that we can see all the super legit stencil creations and aerosol art stuff that he so brilliantly - and illegally - publisizes.

Mostly the film circulates around graffiti groupie Theirry Guetta and his love of filming these artists. Sounds like the narrative actually is about Mr. Brainwash's public exhibitions in LA.

Here are some works by Mr. Brainwash for those of you who are unfamiliar. I'm sure you guys have seen his stuff around LA at some point or another... I've noticed a lot of his stuff ends up being around La Brea and San Vicente...
