    You may not have heard of him, but you've probably seen his work. From policemen with smiley faces to the Pulp Fiction killers firing bananas, Banksy's subversive images are daubed on walls everywhere.

    Hes also known for sneaking his own work into world known museums....
    "Doubtless it is a publicity stunt, but is it also art?
    The graffiti artist Banksy has managed to smuggle in his latest work, a dead rat in a glass-fronted box, into the Natural History Museum where it was exhibited on a wall for several hours.

    Staff did not notice that the rat was out of place amid the museum's usual fare of dinosaur bones and artefact from the animal kingdom. "

    Yea, especially if you can get away with painting over a sign overlooking a busy highway and do it fast enough before the cops show up or something...

    But i must say, that rocket launcher yielding mona lisa is pretty nifty, hehe...
