Mancsy

Mancsy is a pseudonymous street artist based in Manchester, England. His moniker is a play on the Bristol graffiti artist Banksy's (a 'Manc' is the colloquial name given to a person from Manchester).

Since January 2012, he produces limited EDition A3 screen prints on a monthly basis and displays them in public for passers-by to find and keep. Though this predominantly takes place in Manchester, his work has also appeared in London and internationally in Paris and New York.

A bee is included in all of his pieces, which has been used as a symbol of Manchester since the Industrial Revolution, representing Mancunians' work in manufacturing and other industrial activities. Black and yellow are The Two main colours used on the prints, though very occasionally other colours are evident.

He uses his social media accounts to inform his fans when a new piece has been placed around Manchester and people set out to find it.
