Banksy beginnings
Banksy starts his activity in the 80s years in Bristol, as member of a group known as DryBreadZCrew.
But the true Banksy born between 1992 and 1994 under the influence of Ad Jammers movement, group dedicated to deforming public advertisements turning it in politic messages.
During this first years Banksy drown his city with graffiti of black rats doing different human activities like dancing or taking photos.
One day while he was painting a train coach, was discovered by the police. Banksy got away and hid below a rubbish lorry for 1 hour whilst trickled oil in his head. From this moment he started painting by stencil system.
After Banksy left Bristol and started display his art principally in London, but also in important cities like Barcelona or San Francisco.
