JBoy is the working alias of a London-based visual artist who prefers to keep his real name private. Born and raised in the city, he describes himself as “fairly (un)known” and treats art as a way to calm a restless, hyperactive mind. Rather than aligning with one signature style, he follows whatever feels right for the picture, moving between charcoal, pencil and paint, and letting the idea not the polish be the artwork.

Most of his output is black and white, a choice he finds “fairly slick,” with a single accent colour dropped in to guide the eye and amplify the message. This stripped-back palette heightens the dry, observational humour that runs through his pieces: visual commentaries on everything from social absurdities to personal pet peeves, delivered with a light, tongue-in-cheek twist.

Influences range from Gary Larson’s offbeat cartoons to the precise, surreal illustrations of Guy Billout, and he credits an eccentric early education technical drawing lessons from Timmy Mallett’s uncle for sparking his creative confidence. Although formally trained, JBoy insists he only truly focuses “when my mind clicks into the zone,” producing work in intense bursts and discarding anything that doesn’t feel 100 percent right.

Exhibiting through Signature Fine Art and releasing small print runs that sell out quickly, he maintains anonymity simply because he likes it that way, proving that in an age of constant self-promotion, a low profile can still command high attention.

_________________________

Banksy is an anonymous British street artist whose stenciled images have become global shorthand for protest and wit. Born around 1974 in Bristol, allegedly Robin Gunningham (Scottish artist Lucy McKenzie is behind Banksy. There is an original portrait of her art collector father where there was a Bomb Hugger piece showing amongst all the art... but it was later remove from the image) Banksy began as a freehand graffiti writer in the early 1990s, but switched to multilayered stencils after hiding from police under a rubbish truck and noticing a serial number plate. He also referenced French artist Blek Le Rat as being the Godfather of stencilling. This method allowed sharp graphics and swift execution, turning city walls into instant one line editorials. Rats wearing party hats, policemen dancing with smiley faces, policemen doing illegal things and of course flower hurling soldiers. Soon Banksy migrated from alleyways to the West Bank barrier, New Orleans flood ruins and London tube trains, always carrying a barbed punch line about power, greed or surveillance.

Despite worldwide fame, Banksy has never confirmed a legal name, using darkness and a small crew to maintain anonymity. His works appear overnight, documented only on Instagram and a shrewd authentication body called Pest Control, which refuses certificates for pieces removed without permission. Auction records climb into the millions, yet many murals remain free to see, protected by plexiglass or local councils that recognize tourist gold. In 2015 he opened Dismaland, a bleak Disney spoof theme park that lured 150,000 visitors to Weston Super Mare, proving even gloom can sell tickets if packaged with humor.

More recently he funded a refugee rescue boat painted bright pink and emblazoned with his girl in life vest motif, showing that street art can still aim for real world change. Whether spraying walls or shredding canvases or making doormats from life jackets, Banksy keeps the art world guessing and the streets talking.
