He's Baaaack! Banksy's Charlie Brown is Uncovered

Apparently, the masses have spoken.

A day after being covered up with plywood, the covering has been ripped down, and Banksy's Charlie Brown is once again viewable to the public.

We don't know how long the re-exposed Charlie will last, so hurry on over if you want to see this piece in person!

***Thanks to Aaron Fortin for the pictures. Great shots with not yet seen angles of the piece. If you like what you see you can follow Aaron on Twitter NOTE: These pics were taken yesterday just before the piece was boarded up. We don't yet have pics of the re-revealed piece, and if someone would like to send some in we will use them.***

Banksy Boarded Up -Charlie Brown Gone

The new piece of Charlie Brown street art by Banksy has been boarded up, and reportedly holes have been drilled in the side of the building around the piece, for preparation to have it removed.

We got some action shots from our friends at Hieronymus of the boarding up going down.

Banksy is no fool. It did seem like the Jeff Koons balloon piece on La Brea last year was placed in that spot in order to be removed.

Since this entire building has burnt out and been gutted by fire, it seems like maybe this is a similar situation, and the piece might have been placed at this spot so that it could be removed.

Wonder what the reader's thoughts are on this?




***Thanks Heironymus!***

Good Grief, Banksy! Charlie Brown in Los Angeles (pt 2/2)

Good Grief!

More pics of Charlie Brown, the second new piece of street art from Banksy in Los Angeles.

This spot on the Sunset Strip is very similar to the one in Westwood, in that it is in an alleyway, but at an angle that can be seen from the street.

We hear there are more, so keep an eye out, Los Angeles!

Banksy brings out a Charlie Brown stencil holding a can of gas, about to pour.

We are not sure exactly what this piece is about, but we thought a shot staged with Qtip, the top Street Art Cat, really brings it to life.

***Ah, yes. An alert reader pointed out in the comments that this building has been burned, and there are clear singe marks coming out from under the boards on the front of the building. Thus, Charlie playing with fire. Thanks for the heads up***






***Big thanks to 'X' for the tip on the location of this new piece. He could help show Banksy around the rooftops of Los Angeles. Who knows, maybe he already is . . . ***

***This is located on Sunset Blvd in on the Sunset Strip, across the street from Pink Dot***
