Banksy is Dead


The wall that Banksy's Charlie Brown has been ripped out of the building, and a new wheat paste has been affixed in that spot saying 'Banksy is Dead'. Click the jump for more.

This is not a piece of plywood covering the piece. This is a piece of plywood covering a massive hole in the wall where the Banksy used to be.

It really seems like this piece might have been placed at this spot with the intention of being removed. And, not sure, but we think the 'Banksy is Dead' wheat paste, might be from Banksy himself.

Huge thanks to Adam from The Loyal Subjects for the timely info and the pics. The Loyal Subjects is one of LA's producers of top designer vinyl art, and have some really cool things going on. It is well worth checking out.

Fascinating to see how this develops, and stay tuned to MELROSEandFAIRFAX to be the first in the know for the what's happening with Banksy.

  1. It´s sad... street art is best on the street. And worthless when it´s sold for $100 000 on eBay!

  2. I really don't think Banksy did that.
