The entire goal is to produce an issue focusing on stencils as tools for art whether it be used by urban artists or fine artists to demonstrate the power of stencil art. Art Nouveau has a wonderful post on their site covering the story and how you can help support the project. Check it out here:

New Banksy Inspired by LECKOmio??

This morning I stumbled on news of a new Banksy stencil on the streets in Europe and it immediately took me back to pieces that LECKOmio (HERE) had created several months ago. It may or may not be true but I feel that Banksy's newest creation may be a critique on LECKOmio's pieces and use of "graffiti slogans." You be the judge.

Catch Stefan Winterle's Piece Below as well as Banksy street piece below.
