Banksy's newest piece, the Crayon House Foreclosure, seems to be a commentary on the current housing market in America, and especially LA. Click the jump for more
Still no confirmation on Banksy's website about this piece. And not sure if its just a formatting thing, or preparation for more, but it looks like the outdoor page on Banksy's site has room for 4 or 5 more pieces.
Also, we see the comments where some people are encouraging us not to post the address. Well, we feel that nearly all of the people who want to make a trip to view a Banksy piece in person do it with appreciation and admiration. Posting the location allows people to enjoy it. As for the minuscule percentage that want to harm or do something to the piece, unfortunately, that seems to happen anyway. It sucks that there are always a few haters, but the vast, nearly total majority just wants to see the piece for themselves. And we think its awesome that people are going out of their way to see a piece of street art. How often does that happen?
This new piece is located neat the intersection of Compton Ave and Washington Blvd. An exact address has been posted as a comment in Part 1 of the Crayon House Foreclosure shots. Enjoy~
Thanks again to Dale for these great shots.
Interestingly the last set seemed to have gone up Monday night and got posted on his site Wednesday morning. This appearing on a monday again, maybe he'll be active again tonight and there will be more in the morning.
ReplyDeleteIt's likely not to last, if you look at the address on Google Street view, the wall was previous covered with rather uninspired (probably gang) scrawl. And most of the wall has been buffed. So it will will probably be either buffed or tagged over sooner than later, whether its location is readily known or not.
ReplyDeletethis one and TWO OTHER NEW ONES ON HIS PAGE!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!
ReplyDeleteNew pics on Banksy's website... where the hell are those other two?!
ReplyDeleteon Banksy's site this one is CEW, is that short hand for the location? Compton + E Washington?
ReplyDeletethe last ones all had descriptive filenames, now they are IMG and Kite. I'm still mad no one but Banksy ever refereed to it as "Charlie Burn"
Just got back from the elephant & crayon forcloser; both still in great shape. Check out my flickr photostream for some epic shots of the two new Banksy pieces!

yesterday, i got to take pictures of it in the morning and there was a security guard there, and then in the evening on my drive back home, i saw workers putting clear coverings or plastic panels on it. i guess the owner of the building wanted to keep it forever! yay! so seems like its here to stay! :)
ReplyDeletedoes anyone know an exact address? i tried looking for it but i could not find it...
