Alec Monopoly - Back in Black

This is the only version of this black colorway of Alec's Monopoly Man that we have seen.

Found in Beverly Hills.

Qtip is also caught up in this Banksy craze, and so we took her to visit the Banksy pieces and do a photo shoot.

Banksy's English Bulldog is kind of like the Mona Lisa in that no matter where you stand, it always seems to be looking at you.

Its not the greatest shot, per say, but it captures the dog's personality. We would bet money that the bulldog used for the stencil is Banksy's pet, or a friends.

We especially like the shot with the reflection in the water.

If you like Qtip and her crazy adventures on a leash (Vegas Baby!) be sure to check out her blog and her youtube page.

Qtip wrinkles up her nose and says, "This smells!" lol.

Perceive the Harmony That Serenades the Illusion

A fresh wheat paste went up near Banksy's peeing dog in Beverly Hills by an unknown artist saying 'Perceive the Harmony that Serenades the Illusion'.

Its numbered #2/20. Dig it~

Bit thanks to Rob Menapace for sending in the picture. And he reports that this paste is so fresh it was still wet.

Banksy is Top Dog

Here are some spectacular shots of Banksy's pissing bulldog. These have been submitted by Adolfo, and are some of the best pics of this piece we've seen.

Click the jump for yet another MELROSEandFAIRFAX Banksy exclusive.

We love how these shots really capture the flavor of the piece, and place it so that folks can see the background.

This is not an urban spot, but the Beverly Hills Community Rec Center.

Wonder if this one will last or if it will get covered up, too?

4th Piece by Banksy? -Banksy is Top Dog

Finding the Banksy's in LA has become like a treasure hunt!

We have been impressed and astounded by the strong community being exhibited during the chase, and thanks to alert MELROSEandFAIRFAX reader Jessica Alidio, it seems the 4th Banksy might have been found!

Click the jump below for more details and location!

Like all of Banksy's work, this is not signed, so we are not certain that it is from him. But we are familiar with most of the street art that goes up in LA, and do not recognize the style as a piece from anyone local. In our expert opinion, this is Banksy.

Based on the size of the piss alone we think this is Banksy. Banksy is the biggest dog with the biggest bark on the block, and apparently when the biggest dog takes a piss, he really marks a big territory. And Banksy has really left his mark on LA!

***It is located on Little Santa Monica Blvd in Beverly Hills. Building next to the Beverly Hills Sports Community Center.Thanks again to Jessica Alidio for the heads up!***
