Former Graffitti Artist Does Well

The UK's best know unknown artist - Banksy - continues to sell his work for ever higher prices. He's spent years in the wilderness just 'doing his thing' and now the art world has finally deigned to accept him (once he stopped spraying on walls and made work for galleries that can actually sell of course ;-)

BBC reports some of his old work is assumed to be going for excess of 300k for the lot...... that's almost $600k in US money.

Banksy's website has also had a facelift with a nice nod towards "Dr, Strangelove' on the splash page.
