In a rare interview, street artist Banksy discusses his use of Tox's tag in his artwork, referencing the struggles faced by Tox, London's most imprisoned graffiti writer. Tox, real name Daniel Halpin, has been imprisoned over 40 times under anti-social behaviour orders for minor infractions associated with his street art. Banksy explains that incorporating Tox's tag signifies urban decay and acknowledges the cultural implications of graffiti. The dialogue between the two reveals the challenges artists face within the law and the informal art community.
I kind of use it to signify generic urban decay, damage and abandonment. No offence. I guess I should've asked beforehand, but is that OK?
It wasn't 30 days, it was five years maximum cos it was breach of Asbo, I think that's what you're on about init?
