In 2004, the artist printed one million pounds worth of his Di Faced Tenner. The play on the term "defaced" (di-faced) comes from the fact that Banksy substituted the Queen's face with that of
Princess Diana.
The altered bill, which also features the words "Banksy of England" were dropped into a crowd at the 2004 Notting Hill Carnival and later that year, The Reading Festival.

Banksy :
Probably born in 1975 in Great Britain, he really began his work as a graffiti artist within the Bristol's DrybreadZ Crew (DBZ) group. Banksy is a revolutionary and subversive artist, uses his art as a true means of communication to proclaim his dismay, dissatisfaction, sadness or revolt. Each time the artist visits a city, it is a real event and generates media interest. Banksy uses stencils to design his creations, each of them is meticulously worked and detailed in order to give his creations a depth and soul. He wishes to remain anonymous in the image of graffiti, which is a hidden art and realized in secret.
Stencil :
The stencil is a printing technique made using a cover (in zinc for example) that prevents paint or ink from flowing. The stencil is then applied to the printed proof by etching, lithography, screen printing or phototyping. Many stencils must be traced and cut to obtain an accurate reproduction of the work.
