A few days before the opening ceremony of the Olympics in London, British street artist Banksy returned to work and surprised the streets with two new pieces dedicated to the worldly event. So themed, that Banksy.

Throwing the javelin

Banksy has been a source of influence over here at the Invisible Children office. Tyler, our Lead Designer and one of the coolest people I know, says every time he looks at Banksy’s work he’s blown away by his wit and ability to pull from the context of his environment to convey a powerful message. Here are some of Tyler’s favorites (and by direct association, my favorites too).

And this is a photo of Banksy’s office. I wouldn’t hate it.
