was the pink paint on the other tower there prior to the Zorro image going up? Or put up there by "the Zorro painter" - just wondered if it was a failed/aborted attempt at something else? (looks to cover up something different in shape)

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by Happy Shopper on Aug 25, 2009 10:01:21 GMT 1, Looks like classic Banksy to me.
Stencil with freehand shadows (very similar to Nola, for example)
Colour
Location (Also making it very difficult/impossible to steal)
Theme (and not just the character, but drawing other shit graffiti around it)

BUT
what about the freehand pink heart etc? was that there before or after? it doesnt look like it should be there.. the letters and message on the other side look pretty good too.

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by Guest on Aug 25, 2009 11:04:28 GMT 1, The new photos are great, thanks for the effort guys, Looks a like a really difficult place to photo.
I think the pink paint looks very messy, and really does not work with the piece, a kind of after thought, looks like it was sprayed with a hose.
And the circular moon part that has been added, really sticks out from the work close up, again the execution is not so good. Im out on this piece, until we have conformation that its Mr B

"I got up there for 6am so there was as little traffic as possible. Stopped the car, hazards on, took them asap and off. Don't need more points on my license right now, that's for sure."

Banksy in London - Westway Highwayman, by bazzj04 on Aug 25, 2009 11:10:22 GMT 1, Could the circle section in the center, had been painted off site then fixed in place and the rest painted on location,? to allow for quicker painting?. Its quiet a large section that , but then i guess it would mean transporting a fairly large piece of wood etc there and getting it on the roof etc etc ,,,
