He's also anonymous. As far as I know, no one knows his true identity, which adds a little extra to his social commentary, I guess. He's got quite a following and has inspired a number of copycat type artists, too.

I don't know that much about him, but I think this might be the first time he's been in the US, as far as making art on various walls. Certainly the first time he's been out in LA.
