Banksy

"the people who run our cities dont understand graffiti because they think nothing has the right to exist unless it makes a profit...
the people who truly deface our neighborhoods are the companies that scrawl giant slogans across buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff....
any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours, it belongs to you ,, its yours to take, rearrange and re use.Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head....

David and Goliath

This photograph is based off of the Caravaggio painting David & Goliath shown below:

I attempted to hold true to Caravaggio's style but I wanted to give my photograph a modern twist. I feel that my portrayal of David holding Goliath's head was successful based on what I was aiming for.
