Doesn't look like his writing at all.
You never know. He may have been out for a few mild ales & decided to stick something up on the way home....

Oh, and any of you LA residents, keep your eyes open for some new Banksy stuff on the streets..."rumor" is that he's in town.

I don't see what links it to Mr B at all, to be honest... other than it being on a first floor wall visible above a roof. Unless he's going totally old skool and dropping the stencils altogether. Am I missing something?

Fair point.
Maybe his "Heroes" piece was tagged all over and it needed a fresh lick of paint from Mr B? Its a big wall... Kinda looks like silver paint to me. Maybe a collab with KR of Krink ink? That would be cool!

I guess it's a simple weigh up between having your work removed and sold, and being sued for damage to property! He's clearly opted for the latter.. bring on the litigation

He is familiar with that spot so he probably just threw it up on a whim. I do expect to see something "nice" from him in the next few days.

New Street Art piece in LA?, by shower on Jan 30, 2008 17:54:58 GMT 1, i like the idea, think it actually has quite a bit of meaning to it.
whether its a banksy im really not sure, but i think a lot of his new work may have people asking this same question until he updates his website.
there is too much of his work on the street being sold. if no one knows its his stuff then its still gonna get the same respect from graf fans who appreciate all good street work but then the authorities are more likely to paint over it and prevent little shits from selling it! i cant imagine he is too happy that all his street work is being sold, especially as its on the street so its free for all!

Although, it was getting really weathered. Ah well, such is the ephemeral nature of street art!
And yes, Banksy is in LA. I just partied with him last night.
... and then I woke up.

Doing a Large Radar Rat would be dope,
or something that will hold weight and last for a while. And bring some quality UK/Street Art Culture to LA.
Come on now Banks let's do work.
(**** Staples Center Area is Developing nice, and I've seen an artist putting up Jimi Hendrix Sillouette Stencil Posters that have been staying up for a month +) Could do something that lasts there w/out it being removed.
