This Looks More Like An Elephant - Banksy


Another M&F exclusive. This shot looks more like an elephant than anything else. Click the jump for more

The angle of this shot really looks a bit more like an elephant~

We are not sure what Banksy's commentary on this is supposed to be, or if it is simply an example of his utilizing and calling attention to the strange and unusual structures in our society. It is a wild structure, and we have never seen anything like it. Especially puzzling how it is mounted yet still has wheels.

These pics were sent to us by the Banksy Hunter, Keith Toll. Keith's passion for chasing down Banksy and other street art has been nothing short of incredible, and we have thoroughly enjoyed following his hunts. And we've received another half a dozen emails from viewers telling us they met Keith while out on a hunt. His passion is remarkable, and if you see Keith, be sure and say 'hi'!

Keith even climbed up on the elephant and had this to say, "Someone finally came finally and snapped a shot of me. I climbed inside looking for Amy evidence he was there. Smelled like shit and looked like a homeless guy has been living there."

And the update on Keith's searches is that he is currently scouring Culver City or Burbank, or wherever the elusive 'Caution' Banksy might be. Happy hunting, Keith!
