Inspired By Banksy’s Works, I Gave Up Alcohol And Drugs For Street Art
My name is Jamie Scanlon and I am the UK-based street artist JPS.
I got into street art in 2009 after visiting Banksy’s excellent museum exhibition which inspired me to face up my problems with drinking and drugs.
I replaced all that buzz with illegally painting, although the greatest part is people liking my work and being able to feel as though I’m giving something back to the world. Here is a selection of some of my works.

Some of these are quite clever in their use of environment. Good stuff!

Your talent is absolutely mindblowing. You should be so proud that you fought off your demons to save it. Please never stop using it.

Great work though perhaps a bit too derivative of Banksy. I'd also change your tag name from the brand of cigarettes.

cool stuff, and a lot less of the BS that seems to come hand in hand with banksy's work.
