Banksy Looks Back on His Month in New York

Banksy has issued a video response to being named Person of the Year at the Webby Awards ceremony last week. The YouTube clip summarizes the anonymous street artist’s hyped monthlong residence in New York last October, with Banksy congratulating himself on works such as the meatpacking truck filled with stuffed animals (cleverly titled “Sirens of the Lambs”), the roaming landscape truck, and that real-life balloon tag the NYPD was so fond of. And, for those still interested in figuring out who Banksy really is, the video reveals that he’s “38-years-old,” though that piece of information doesn’t really narrow down his identity much (if it’s even true.) Either way, New York fans will be glad to know that he’s still thinking of them.
