I was driving around LA yesterday when I came across this new piece by Banksy. I took the photo above outside of the New Beverly Cinema where he previously had a maid sweeping trash under the paint of a wall. Now he’s put up a caveman carrying a bone in one hand a tray with a burger, fries, and a milkshake in the other. I’m pretty sure I saw another one of these on Melrose as well, but it looked like it was only in black.

I wonder if he’s in LA now and if he’ll be putting up more pieces around town?

3. I’m pretty sure those other 2 by the gas station ARE NOT Banksy.

5. who gives a toss. what if it’s a banksy? Does this then elevate it from being piss poor shat to edgy and informing?

6. David Clwyd: Why not enjoy Banksy? he’s clever, spontaneous, and overall creates things for the fun of it.

   You sound like one of those people who’s over him because of all the media coverage, but who cares? If you don’t enjoy his work then ignore it.

7. Nick walker is definitely in town. So maybe they are friends or something or maybe it’s a walker

8. The spray paint job isn’t very solid. …Splotchy in some areas, the black area in the inner thigh. All of the Banksy piece I’ve seen have very solid black work.

11. TRNSMTR1 : The guy throwing paint on the gallery is Nick Walker, and I’m starting to believe the piece above might be a Walker as well. It’s not feeling right anymore.
