# What you see sets you apart #
- You know Banksy? - I don't know.
Don't film from that side.
did a good job.
only over three days and in skid row.
This room looks almost done.
to the mysterious Englishman.

[loud crash]
[children chattering]
was, like, buy some tape and go somewhere, you know?
and I put in a toy from Fisher-Price.
telling me he could do anything;
Ooh...
three times, five times, ten times, twelve times,
you know, working just as hard as the guys Thierry brought in,
So I'm starting to feel scared.
I was very curious how the hell
NARRATOR: But it wasn't just Shepard
It's before Batman.
you know, he was putting mosaics together
I used to take things that,
And one moment,
prices for work by leading street artists rocketed,
[discordant electronic music]
I'm not gonna make it.
so then I went on Pirates of the Caribbean.
Hello, this is Shepard Fairey.
It's cool, though, right?
That's why I call myself Mr. Brainwash.
to become the biggest countercultural movement
and you can decide who it is
and I had this idea
# No, nothing ever mattered more than my darling #
and, like, selected different pictures,
and him selling a lot of expensive art very quickly,
[jaunty accordion music]
around the world.
he could never have imagined just how far things would go.
[imitating camera shutter snapping]
Looks a bit like Banksy,
You know, he's really, like...
When you have Damien Hirst,
I worry for everybody, actually,
You'll see if I'm a real artist or not.
He just goes and does.

NARRATOR: And just when it seemed that the pressure
and I asked somebody to illustrate it,
so he's like, What you gonna do?
and his increasingly ambitious adventures
Bye!
I tried calling Thierry, didn't get any answer,
Never, never, never.
everything I was doing.
and we just shot off, like, the morning before the show.
Thierry was forced to accept that he may never find a way
# These lights in our hearts #
# #
to make art.
Thierry was questioned by Disney's security people
and now, under the influence of pain-numbing drugs,
I made £1 million worth,
You know, we all needed someone who knew how to use a camera.
I find a way of making the no as a yes.
# But do you know that tonight the streets are ours? #
There is... people comes.
in this tiny world of street art,
you know, he's really like what he represent.
and then there's this sign with a picture of a camera on it
a lot of it was starting to disappear the next day.
NARRATOR: Thierry's documentary was shaping up to be
# Do you know that tonight the streets are ours? #
I like it. I like it.
# These lights in our hearts #
with the notoriously secretive artist,
but I said it's great
In the beginning, you're, like, thinking,
It's good, you know? It's good.
Even though the Andre the Giant sticker
of all this stuff that, you know,
But even back in 2000,
You know?
NARRATOR: While Banksy went on the rides,
it was going nowhere.
the pressure was starting to show.
This is when I saw that he was, like, a legend.
This is one piece that I really like,
NARRATOR: A few months later,
It was going in a box somewhere.
they wouldn't give it to me, you know?
and everything about it is shit
You know, it was not like,
Why don't you go and put up some more of your posters
So they put me in a seat.
he could take me anywhere;
I'll be your driver.
Thierry simply carried on,
of the little show Banksy had suggested.
[children wailing]
You know what? We're working right now.
