The 'No Parking' sign from Banksy's Crayon Soldier has gone missing.
And the drama rolls on at the piece with more derogatory etchings and then another face lift. Click the jump for more
While the bulk of Banksy's Crayon Soldier still remains scarred but intact, the 'No Parking' sign that the gun was aimed at has disappeared off the wall. Look for it on ebay any day now.
And someone please take the marker away from this kid! In what looks to be a similar shade and style of marker, some asshole kid wrote 'Take me down & ur a cunt'. No, you are a cunt for writing the message. Look at these poor little kids trying to enjoy the Banksy. Even if it is an attempt to keep the piece on the wall, it is awful, and really ruins the friendly vibe around the piece.
The good news is that the Crayon Soldier has received another cleaning (bottom pic) and this statement, along with the swastikas and other scrawls, and the MBW tag have all been removed, but the Crayon Soldier still stand strong, and still fights on~
If you haven't been to see this piece in person yet, we would highly recommend making the trip sooner rather than later. It is a spectacular piece of art in person, and it might be gone at any time. If you want to see Banksy's Crayon Soldier, it is located on Kinross street, in between Westwood and Glendon.
Thanks to Matthew Love for the pic of the Banksy piece cleaned up. We hope that the Crayon Soldier stays victorious!
