Lazarides and Banksy launched the'Pictures on Walls' website in 2001 to promote graffiti art and widened their scope to work with a larger roster of street artists. He created an in-house print studio, Lazarides Editions, and worked with Banksy and other artists to create prints to share with the art community. Andrew Child wrote in the Financial Times, If there had been one individual responsible for whipping up and sustaining the fever around urban art, and who stood to lose most from its demise, it was Steve Lazarides. Lazarides opened his first gallery in London in 2006and brought many unknown artists in the UK to light including holding Invader's first UK exhibition, Space Invader's Invasion London, and Rubik Bad Men II.

His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world.

Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces. Banksy no longer sells photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but his public" installations" are regularly resold, often even by removing the wall they were painted on. Much of his work can be classified as temporary art. Banksy's documentary film Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
