Street Artist Banksy Invades New York City

October 9, 2008 - 5:15 pm By Steve - Seton Hall

Underground British street artist Banksy has turned up in New York City bringing his latest creation (above) to a three-story wall at Wooster and Grand Street while painting another Rat on a wall near Broadway and Canal Street. Plus, he’s just opened his first official exhibition in NYC – an animatronic pet store.

The elusive artist’s identity is still unknown to this day and few if any have ever met the artist face to face. Being that he shies away from public displays it was a surprise to see Banksy breakout the painters scaffolding and create his Rat murals in broad daylight.

Check out his latest NYC creations and the first known images of the artist at work!
