from Blek's website :
1981 to 1983 the beginning of the stencil graffiti art .I had the idea to use stencil to make graffiti for one reason. I did not want to imitate the American graffiti that I had seen in NYC in 1971 during a journey I had done over there.I wanted to have my own style in the street... I began to spray some small rats in the streets of Paris because rats are the only wild living animals in cities and only rats will survive when the human race will have disappeared and died out.

“Every time I think I've painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek le Rat has done it as well. Only twenty years earlier…” - Banksy
