    Rumors (which are even on Wikipedia) say it’s Robert Del Naja from Massive Attack, who started as a graffiti artist. Bansky told interviewers that he was inspired by Del Naja.

      If I was trying to keep my identity a secret, I wouldn’t say I was inspired by myself.

      And not even in reverse-psychology way, because then the interviewer would probably look up Del Naja and an immediately make the connection.

        Imagine if it isn’t Del Naja, yet everytime he travels somewhere someone puts up a Banksy near you. I’d feel so powerful and in control of that happened to me all the time.
