Banksy Gets Drilled


MELROSEandFAIRFAX went and snapped our own exclusive shots of the holes drilled around Banksy's Charlie Brown piece on Sunset.

There are holes and cuts made as if to remove a chunk from the building. Click the jump below for more

These marks were made by some serious industrial tools. You can see the deep indentions which might be preparation to have a bigger section of the wall removed.

After we had snapped shots, a friend called and asked if we had noticed the saw marks on the right side. We did see a pile of dust and mortar on the ground, but we didn't notice the saw marks at the time. It seems that maybe some has already tried cutting it out, but it didn't work.

As of an 11:45 this was still up and visible. Who knows how long it will last. Hurry over to Sunset and La Cienega if you want to see this Banksy piece in person!
