When Banksy was emerging as a street artist, he spent time with a renowned graffiti artist who spray painted trains in the 1980's. Banksy accompanied him at night in Bristol to see where and how they sprayed, in return Banksy sent him Keep it Real as a thank you. Keep it Real was sold privately to the current owner in 2014.
