Banksy Gets Saved!

Another Banksy gets boarded up, but this time its to protect it. Click the jump for more

Banksy's Crayon House Foreclosure got covered today - with plexiglass.

The owner of the building wants to preserve the Banksy piece and possibly sell it. And in the meantime, to protect it, he put up a layer of plexiglass in front of the piece.

We really like to see this proactive stance to preserve a Banksy piece, and hopefully this will work. It would be awesome if it could even be kept on display like this.

Big thanks to Dennis for sending in these timely shots. Way to be the man on the spot!

Banksy's Charlie Brown on Ebay

After the chunk of wall was removed, it was only a matter of time until Banksy's Charlie Brown stencil showed up on Ebay. But who knew it would be so quick?

Although it never mentions Banksy's name, ebay item number 250775628024is reportedly selling the Charlie Brown piece of the wall.

We are not sure if this is legit or not. A good rule of thumb is to be wary of items for sale on ebay that do not have an original picture, and the picture used is of the removal where there was a crowd of people taking pictures (in fact, it seems to be the picture that we posted earlier on the blog!). It would have a lot more credibility if there were more pics of the actual chunk after being removed.

Still, there will be bids on this. Wonder how much it will go for? . . .
