Family Day at Banksy's Crayon Soldier -Unfortunately Defaced Again


Banksy is still a hot spot in LA, and right after we rolled in a bunch of people showed up to take pictures.

We got some cool shots of kids interacting with the Crayon Soldier.

Unfortunately, Banksy's piece got defaced again. It is so shameful we don't even want to give it the credit of a front article feature. But click the jump to see the wrong done to the Crayon Soldier, and also shots of kids playing around in front of the artwork.

Clearly, whoever defaced this Banksy had nothing really to say. Such an absolute shame to scrawl just stupid little marks and swastikas on it. Next time, please say nothing.

Hopefully this will get cleaned right off like the previous marks.

The kids, on the other hand, were awesome! They jumped out of the car and ran towards the piece yelling 'Banksy!!!" And you can see from the interaction in the pics that they really appreciate the piece on a whole different level.

  2. Every time I've gone to any of the Banksys there have been other people around for the same reason including the boarded over Charlie Brown. It's great that Banksy can really create community.
