A sell out. Somebody who comprimises their integrity, morality and principles for money. It is commonly associated with attempts to increase mass appeal or acceptability to mainstream society. A person who does this, as opposed to following the original path they laid out for themself, suffers immediate loss of respect. The term comes from the prime example; Banksy, the UK based graffiti artist who writes of anti-consumerism and then goes on to make himself one of the most commercially successful brand names in the art world.

Banksy is one of the most famous and possibly the best stencil graffitist ever. He was inspired by Blek le Rat and has been graffiting since a very young age. Almost all of his work is designed to mirror and satire goverment, polotics and modern socioty. He is NOT a sell out, his books were written to promote his issues and to explain his mindset to his fans and all the money he makes from selling signed canvases is well earnt. A true hero of freedom of speech

Banksy is a pseudonym for a British street artist which uses street art as a form of political and social activism. He has a distinctive style in street art to create satirical art pieces. He is best known for his unique stenciling, however quite often he will make pieces of art which range from sculptures to YouTube videos intended to expose the truth about events and situations occurring in our present society.
Recently, he has become widely known for his art pieces and some of his works have been sold at public auctions for thousands of dollars. However, he demonstrates that his art was not for this intended purpose in his satirical film, "Exit Through The Gift Shop". he demonstrates that anyone can make art. However, it is the visual message which art sends which signifies its importance, a message which many people seem to neglect.
Many people in the underground art scene and elsewhere criticize him for being a 'sellout' where it is believed that his art is purposely brought into mainstream media for his anti-consumerist, anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian and anti-war messages for money. However, this is not true as Banksy still remains true to his style, technique and his political and social themes. The only difference now is that he is a widely successful and acclaimed street artist. Some street artists which criticize Banksy still wish to achieve the same success as his and present him as a sellout out of possible jealousy for his achievements.

If you have the time I would highly recommend watching "Exit Through The Gift Shop". Just google it and watch it. (:

Initially make interesting and provocative street art, then slowly take the cash and buy into your own self publicity by smearing shit on the walls. Basically, someone who smears shit on walls.

them: I was just doing a banksy
you: we'd better run then before the cops smell it.
