Banksy - "Old Skool" on Clerkenwell Road, by Macdeee on Feb 27, 2008 0:40:34 GMT 1, I dunno... It doesnt look like they removed anything from that wall. Its just been plastered over, then banksy has done his magic using the old cut it out stencil. I may be wrong but maybe Mr B snuck in there one night, destroyed his own work, chipping it off then plastered over it to say f**k you to the people making money from the street art.

Banksy - "Old Skool" on Clerkenwell Road, by goldenlad on Feb 27, 2008 0:44:02 GMT 1, I can't quite work out what has happened here. There is a very distinctive crack in the 'new plaster' above the LLEC in Collected, which appeared on the Old Skool pic, which surely should have vanished should it have been plastered over. It has been covered by the small shed for about 5 weeks which is a long time to just paint it over.
The same crack can be seen here www.flickr.com/photos/taraonholiday/400081052/

Banksy - "Old Skool" on Clerkenwell Road, by frank11 on Feb 27, 2008 11:27:39 GMT 1, Gutted!!!!
Sent so many people to look at it over the years. Even my granparents thought it rocked when i showed them a few months ago...
I can remember seeing it for the first time after a messy night at Turnmills...... Always has been a fav. Made me want to go out and get busy with some Spray paint
At least it will not be on Ebay

Banksy - "Old Skool" on Clerkenwell Road, by errrr on Feb 27, 2008 11:35:54 GMT 1, mmmmm.....this is very mysterious! To me it looks like the old image has just been painted over with a plasterish looking pink paint rather than a fresh load of plaster as there are still all the cracks etc. from before. Which would mean the original image has been painted over..... But why so long to do it.....mmmm

Its a real shame this has to happen, but i would rather this than some t**t making a profit out of street art for the people.

Banksy - "Old Skool" on Clerkenwell Road, by goldenlad on Feb 27, 2008 11:54:05 GMT 1, Looking again at my pic, about a foot above the new plaster, where the roof of the temporary shed met the wall, more of the fresh plaster can seen splashed along a line, which sort of does make it look like a paint job rather than a plaster job.

Odd. Did the painter paint over the rest of the art on the wall or just the Banksy piece?
