Following Grafitti Artist Banksy


With the fascination of the Grammy comes a remarkable story of an artist known as Banksy. Nominated for an award this year is a documentary called "Exit through the Gift Shop" -- a story about the grafitti street artist from the UK known as Banksy. The film has an interesting twist when the video scribe, Thierry Guetta, is transformed (with Banksy's help) into Mr. Brainwash, another successful street artist.
