Banksy in San Francisco, by TheCatalyst on Apr 29, 2010 23:38:09 GMT 1, I can't believe that people tagged that garbage next to Love & Peace. Totally takes away from the original artwork at hand. Just glad I took the time last Sunday to drive through San Fran and take some pics/document all 6 different pieces before they get ruined and/or vanish. I took some really nice close-ups of the Doctor and the Indian. If anyone's interested in seeing them just let me know.
Oh btw -- first post.
Hello all, new guy here. I stumbled upon your little Banksy forum here after doing some online searching, and reading up on some of his older lithos. Seems like a great site for information on some of his older screens. Think I'll be in the market for a couple of them really soom.

Banksy in San Francisco, by Filipino Box Spring Hog on May 2, 2010 4:24:28 GMT 1, Caught ETTGS last night in San Diego. I loved it - also noticed that Banksy has a Parla!
Truly enjoyed the documentary - awesome footage of things we'd never be able to see!

Banksy in San Francisco, by otomi on May 3, 2010 4:01:48 GMT 1, Here is my updated loot from my Banksy field trips. (just need the air strike address)
The Bird - Love the use of the environment. The parking lot replaced nature and all is left are car horns in stead of birds signing. I think that's why the bird makes the horn noise. Most pictures I have seen have missed the actual tree. It's a classic. Also note the two poles the tree comes out of.
The Native American - This one explains itself. It is fantastic. When I took the picture a homeless Native American walked by and said that is me. Very uncomfortable moment. What would I give to have this as a print. Looks like Banksy also added the sign.
Love and Peace - Great topic in SF. I also think this might be FDR checking on healthcare which he tried to establish with his new deal ages ago. Lovely piece draws a big crowd. (40 people when I was there)
The Rat - Essential Banksy. Clearly using a Pilot marker SUPER SELL OUT! 
The Line - Very nice and huge. Would like to know if the line goes all the way around.
Good When Framed - Most likely a comment on the immediately stolen LA piece.
Glitter Rat - classic rat. Looks like it showed up the same day Blek le Rat had his show opening in SF. Banksy was probably there.
I had a great time finding them and looking at them and so did everyone I met.
Thank for posting the addresses here is my final list:
Sorted in a way to have the shortest distance to walk/ride/drive.
Rat - Howard x 9th
The Bird - Erie and Mission St.
Native American - Sycamore x Mission
Nice When Framed - 849 Valencia 19th/20th
Draw the Line - 1653 Haight street
Peace + Love - Commercial & Grant
Glitter Rat - Regency Building

He probably went on one of the Alcatraz tours as a tourist and stood near the back of the pack. I think that's the only way you're able to get on the island these days. Wicked.

If it is still there on the weekend I will go.

PEGGY ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THE PURPOSE OF ILLEGAL GRAFFITI WAS TO PRESERVE IT WIHT GREATER CARE THAN THE BUILDING IT WAS ILLEGALLY PAINTED ON.
