Publisher: Michael O'Mara, London - Published April 2012 Seven Years With Banksy is an illuminating memoir of the world’s most celebrated and mysterious graffiti artist, offering a unique insight into his life and work through the experiences that he and author Robert Clarke shared together during Banksy’s formative years.“He was outrageous, he was everywhere, like a nocturnal tomcat on the prowl. He saw the city’s ripped backsides at an hour of night that not many of us are privy to”
Clarke takes us through his first encounters with Banksy – two Bristolian Englishmen hanging out in 1990s New York – and later times spent with him in London (and London Zoo!), Bristol and Glastonbury. Along the way, the readers discover more about the elusive man, the influences that shaped his art, what makes him tick and why he rejects fame in favour of anonymity.“The guy was a crow, he didn’t stand out . . . He could blend in or out at will as if he had an invisibility cloak”
