Obey Revisits Banksy
Obey puts up yet another big wheat paste in Westwood. This one features his iconic Andre the Giant face.
But what is so interesting about this piece is the placement. It was put on the back wall of Urban Outfitters in Westwood, the same place where Banksy's Crayon Soldier once stood.
Even though Banksy's piece got buffed, the area has become a little haven for street art, and the door and wall keep filling up with more and more art. Banksy's Soldier was almost exactly where the half buffed 'Bugger' paster from Robbie Conal is located.
Dig it~
***Big thanks to Leo for sending in the pics and Shawn also for the heads up***
