Banksy painted a picture of a banana and hired someone to illegally hang it up in an art exhibit as a protest against modern art with the message being "You can hang something as stupid as a banana in an art museum and people will still call it modern art."
The art museum made a public statement saying that if Banksy wanted his painting back, they would hold onto it until he came back to claim it.
When I heard this statement on the news, I knew that Banksy was never going to come back to claim his painting, so I saw this as an opportunity to do something big.
It all originally started out as a joke, but eventually after a lot of work, we ended up actually convincing the art museum to give us the painting and we got it for only $5.

In this video, I include a lot of raw footage and behind the scenes of some of the stuff that was going on.
