Graffiti Drawings By Banksy

Banksy has published a "manifesto" on his website. The text the manifesto is credited as the diary entry one Lieutenant Colonel Mervin Willett Gonin, DSO, which is exhibited in the Imperial War Museum. It describes how a shipment lipstick to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp immediately after its liberation at the end World War II helped the internees regain their humanity. However, as 18 January 2008, Banksy's Manifesto has been substituted with Graffiti Heroes #03 that describes Peter Chappell's graffiti quest the 1970s that worked to free George Davis his imprisonment. By 12 August 2009 he was relying on Emo Phillips' "When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised God doesn’t work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness." A small number Banksy's works can be seen in the movie Children Men, including a stenciled image two policemen kissing and another stencil a child looking down a shop.
Banksy, who deals mostly with Lazarides Gallery in London, claims that the exhibition at Vanina Holasek Gallery in New York (his first major exhibition in that city) is unauthorised. The exhibition featured 62 his paintings and prints.
