For example <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_Fairey" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_Fairey" rel="nofollow">Shepard Fairey</a> is a famous stencil and graffiti artist who is much closer to your location and does do portraits of famous people. I do not think this is his work either, but it is an example of how popular it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Strict provenance is the only way to say you have a genuine Banksy. You must have iron clad chain of existance-to-ownership because banksy does not sign their pieces, sell them (except as performance art), or catalog them. They are one of the easiest to copy and most fraudulently reproduced artists out there currently.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is a fun piece and great for someone who likes James Dean. It looks like it was made by someone who probably makes a living selling inexpensive celeb pop art. Usually at art fairs or markets. The plywood substrate is typical for those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
