The tag drips over the top of the white wash so he did some of the tagging at least

I totally agree with your idea of how this was done, and are more then certain this was the way it was done. All other ideas seems quite "far out". I was going to write exactly the same as you but I was to slooooow...

how does the idea of tagging through a stencil seem far out ? To me it seems by far the easier option and a lot less time consuming. PLUS it seems a massive coinsidence that the orange, black and silver paint works perfect as cammo on a tigers fur???

I think it is more or less genious to do a "back ward graffiti" as you can do it in broad daylight. Would anyone think you were doing anything illegal by painting over a lot of ugly tagging?! No, soo you could easily attache your paper leopard or whatever and paint white alla over and then just remove your stencil and walk away. And Voila! there you have your animal... Banksy is a true genious!

leopard tescoflag society fisherboy watercan-girl camera-girl bronx_bowpeep bronxfeb08 Wet-Dog
I am still wondering . . . 1) why only a few people have noticed his new pieces in New York - after everyone peed themselves over that unauthorized exhibit there last December. 2) why isn't Banksy putting the LA Caveman on his site?

Sorry but what you are saying does not make sense, because there is a lot of black paint dripping down over the white paint on the head of the leopard. So the black paint had to be done later. In fact, due to the leopard colors, banksy probably did it all himself. The white surrounding first, then each leopard color. This would require a positive and negative stencil of the leopard. Not too tough at all for Banksy. In any event, it's a great image.

www.banksy.co.uk site update, by Joe J on Mar 23, 2008 23:25:29 GMT 1, There's a grey/chrome tag thats written on the Leopard, starting from its neck and goes across the arch of its back. The tag goes outside the stencil outline. The tag also has runs in it, one of the drips runs all the way outside the bottom of the stencil.
This makes me think Banksy has tagged through the stencil and then touched it up with a few more tags after removing the stencil on top.
I can't make out what the chrome tag says. Anyone else?

Maybe he goes back to sell signed photo as he did in the early days on POW - that would be cool.
