Show me your (legal?) graffiti
Barmymoo:
To be fair, there are a lot of people who DID start doing stencils because Banksy does them, and try to emulate his style. But there again all artists have examples of that, the ones from hundreds of years ago had students who spent their whole life copying their arty masters.
Apologies, my art history knowledge is appalling, but the concept is there.

I figured out which artist that reminded me, Pian (But she's from Venezuela).
His work seems a lot sharper ( http://studio.st/wp-content/banksy.gif )compared to hers ( http://piancita.deviantart.com/art/swing-girl-II-25471440 )

I mean, they're going down anyway, and it would allow young artists to add their contribution of art for a fleeting moment in the city's history.

Fun fact! I was arrested once for writing graffiti on a condemned building.
Runs_With_Scissors:
Oh boy... where was this? And how much trouble did you get in?
KharBevNor:
On the Isle of Wight, and not much. I ended up with an adult caution for criminal damage, don't even have to declare it as a conviction for most jobs. The thing I was more concerned about was the compulsory taking of my fingerprints and DNA.
