Banksy is Dead, Art is Dead

This piece of street art seems to be from the same person who put up the 'Banksy is Dead' wheat paste over the crater where Banky's Charlie Brown used to be.

The writing says, 'are you fake. are you sure. art is dead.'

It is placed next to one of Alec's Twiggy pieces on Melrose. Not sure if it is a slight at Banksy, Alec, or the whole of street art in general. Click the jump for more

We think that this is the same artist because of the dead thing, and some posters went up lower down on this building that have the same framed outline as the 'Banksy is Dead' wheat paste, suggesting the same person.

Interesting stuff. Banksy has really inspired some street commentary here in Los Angeles.
