Anonymous or not.

Simply not true. I'm an artist. Have you seen any of my artwork? Quite a few of us that do it for the love of doing it and for our own personal enjoyment. There are a TON of graffiti artists who are unknowns.
Some of my work is in public eye and people have no idea that it was created by me, nor am I seeking accolades for it.

Absolutely not. depending on the piece I would either keep it or sell it. Just because I have lost respect for him doesn't mean that I don't value his work or at minimum respect it's value....and all too willing to capitalize on it if I owned it.
The difference is that I wouldn't make a spectacle out of myself for doing it or create a documentary about it.
