This piece of graffiti was in Brighton on the Old Pier. I thought this image was thought alot about by having the halo already there an then putting this stenciled image on the pillar made the pier have a totally different feeling and concept towards the pier itself. It makes you think how the person thought about putting this mementos image on a pillar its like putting ' Che Guerra' on a t-shirt give the imagea totally different perspective of the image. For example Bansky uses images that we see everyday and take for advantage and he uses these images to make a statement. ' They say that graffiti frightens people and is symbolic of the decline in society; but graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people; politicans,advertising executives and graffiti writers'. He stenciled a wall in Soho 2001 of Mona Lisa with a rocket launcher.

look at Banksy Wall and Paper book century.
