"Late-Era Xerox." – Lauren Ipsum Aug 16 '11 at 19:14
That's gotta be close at least... – leeand00 Aug 16 '11 at 20:54

Lauren, I love your sense of humor. "Neo-Xerox" might also work. – Alan Gilbertson♦ Aug 16 '11 at 23:28

Well, it's clearly not an early Xerox, or you'd have a lot more detail. This is like 20th-generation Xerox. – Lauren Ipsum Aug 16 '11 at 23:37

Knockout image, reverse, or Photocopy.

Doesn't really have one yet I think, " Street Art Stenciling " seems to be the closest - If you can get the UK channel 4od check - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/graffiti-wars/4od - and the documentary "Exit through the Gift Shop" which were on a couple of days ago, both covering the artists who do a similar style to the one above.

Boooo. The post is a photograph with Levels, Threshold, or Curves gone awry via Photoshop. Banksy's work has much more detail, style, and is not done for commercial purposes. – Dawson Aug 28 '11 at 4:25
@Dawson Fair enough, I didn't intend to insult his work. I find it inspiring. – leeand00 Aug 29 '11 at 0:58

@leeand00 - It's cool. I was boo-ing this comment. The word "Stenciling" didn't sit well with me. I know that may be part of the process, but I know there's a lot more to it than that, where Banksy's concerned. I also see his work as trying to say something rather than sell something - that's what forced the "boo" out of me. – Dawson Aug 29 '11 at 3:27
