Mr. Brainwash, a.k.a. Thierry Guetta, started his artisitc career as a documentary film maker, even filming the graphic design mastermind, Shepard Fairey (Creator of Obey, and Times Obama cover). Mr. Brainwash who also goes by MBW, hung up the camera and traded it in for the stencils and paintbrush, creating some prolific street art. His art is reminiscent of Andy Warhol's pop art style, with hints of famed Banksy (Stencil artist) and Shepard Fairey. So basically Mr. Brainwash would be the prodigy child if some how Shepard Fairey, Andy Warhol and Banksy (Shepard and Banksy both acknowledge MBW great artistic talent) could get together and have a baby! His work usually incorporates famous faces in a different light, many times giving the faces a Marilyn Monroe hair treatment (check out the pictures). In his short career he has been able to get national recognition, and even his own show in California "Life is Beautiful". Life is Beautiful is a big modo of his work because he believes happiness is most important part of life. His work has made it to the streets of California, and even New York. Overall his work is pretty unique and defiantly worth a look, trust you will be amazed.
