I feel like this work strongly conveyed the experiences I hoped to convey, though I'm a bit iffy about some of my color choices, particularly the white text on yellow background. I was quite pleased with my first view of the work, and though my documentation has gone through a few iterations, I think the full experience accurately expresses the message I was sending. Whether or not someone would purchase this would depend on the context in which it was being sold - ideally I would envision this product being sold as stickers or small posters that could be proliferated throughout an urban area. While this raises questions about involving my work in street art culture, I hope it would be taken as a wake up call rather than assimilated.

I wish I had more text space to elaborate on the ideas I developed over the course of this project, as I found the research very informative and often surprising. My initial reaction stemmed from a personal distaste for Banksy, hence the title, but I quickly found that the street art/graffiti discussion went much deeper than "street art is so passé". I'm happy to have explored this topic deeper as I feel it's a fascinating subject with roots in very human experiences of pride and desire for celebrity and acceptance. However, I wanted to focus on race perception & interaction and the way that people of color are affected by this, which I have a passionate and personal interest in, and I think that I managed to succeed in that respect.
