The french artist Blek le Rat has a very similar style to Banksy, some would say that he "made" Banksy what he is today, as Banksy said in his unofficial biography “Every time I think I’ve painted something original, I find out that Blek le Rat has done it as well, only 20 years earlier.”
From looking at the artwork of both these artists i would not have been able to distinguish one from the other which also the reason some people portray a Banksy image as a Blek le Rat piece or vica versa, if i have done this throughout this blog you will have to forgive me, while the style is very similar, I would maybe argue that Banksy has more obvious and clear messages in his artwork
The main thing I want to do is to actually see how the stencils are done, are the edges smooth or really rough, and if I want to do my final image in this exact style or if I want to change small details to make it unique and distinguishable from both Banksy and Blek le Rat.
