X - Judgement Day

Rumors have been swirling about whether LA's own Rooftop King 'X' showed Banksy around town and up top the billboard on Sunset.

We are not sure, but X did get up some new action of his own last night with this 'Judgement Day' billboard takeover, featuring his 'Thank You, Andy Warhol' image. Click the jump below for more

Wonder if the billboard company will take it down and sell it on ebay, too . . . (I want it!)

Blank Banksy Billboard

Banksy's billboard takeover was taken down yesterday.

Here is a shot of the new lonely looking blank space.

What a rude awakening to the dream!

***BTW, we hear there was a big crowd and some real drama when the piece came down. Anyone have more pics or info?***

Wow. These shots really give the flavor of the pieces in a new way. Love that thin white drip~

Jetset Graffiti has some really cool things going on, including organizing the 'Free Walls Project' in LA. The Free Walls Project has brought some of the world's biggest names in street art to Los Angeles, and offered them the canvas to work on. Just to name a few, Ron English, Kid Zoom, Insa and Roa have put up amazing work in LA thanks to the project.

Banksy Billboard on Sunset Taken Down

No Longer Dreamin'.

Banksy's 'Livin' the Dream' Billboard Takeover on Sunset has been take down and is no longer running. Click the jump below for more

The billboard was reportedly taken down and rolled up, so keep your eyes peeled on Ebay to see when this surfaces.

This comes only a few hours after the Charlie Brown was boarded up and covered.

It is unfortunate that the Banksy pieces are disappearing so fast. Wonder if its by design, or just business oriented property owners?

So hurry and see remaining two Banksy pieces while you still can!

***Big thanks to John Wellington Ennis for providing these daytime shots of the billboard taken earlier today before it was buffed. You can see more of John's politically infused work at Pay2Play.tv***

Banksy is Livin' the Dream!

According to the Wooster Collective, the impressive billboard takeover we posted last night was orchestrated by Banksy.

Maybe this impressive graffiti billboard takeover will help quiet Team Robbo and the haters, and give Banksy his long due and well earned street cred.

Our sources tell us that there are 4 new pieces of work from Banksy in LA, and MELROSEandFAIRFAX has had the exclusive first drop on 3/4. So there is at least one more out there to find!

Stay tuned to M&F for the latest and greatest from Banksy in LA, and click the jump for more pics and info.

I guess these are the graffiti version of Banksy's rats, as they do it up in Hollywood~

We realize that Banksy has a street team who does his install work, but the Banksy team still gets credit for hitting such a hot spot, and doing it so well.

The post from last night had already got some really flattering comments, and one that even took a little jab saying "if only all street art could be this good." We wish it could, and in this case it is

Like we said before, Really dig how the characters are taking over the billboard, and at the same time interacting with certain elements.

Very well done all the way around, with extra bonus points added on for hitting a spot that is so ballsy~

Banksy.
