The features of these genres are both political messages. In the first graffiti art a small girl is frightened by a rat, which he uses as a symbol for the government. In the second graffiti art he draws Abe Lincoln on an abandoned building and portrays him as homeless. Bansky produced both of these images. From looking at some of his artwork I can tell that he takes political messages seriously. Bansky's audience is just the general public, his graffiti is meant to announce his opinion and in the example his opinion on politics and government. I personally think its hard to understand the actual message of the second graffiti of Abraham Lincoln because the first one is pretty straight forward that people are afraid of the government. I think hes trying to say the government isn't beneficial to anyone, it just causes poverty.
