Another Banksy Piece Goes Missing (And More Drama!)

The 'No Parking' sign from Banksy's Crayon Soldier has gone missing.

And the drama rolls on at the piece with more derogatory etchings and then another face lift. Click the jump for more

While the bulk of Banksy's Crayon Soldier still remains scarred but intact, the 'No Parking' sign that the gun was aimed at has disappeared off the wall. Look for it on ebay any day now.

And someone please take the marker away from this kid! In what looks to be a similar shade and style of marker, some asshole kid wrote 'Take me down & ur a cunt'. No, you are a cunt for writing the message. Look at these poor little kids trying to enjoy the Banksy. Even if it is an attempt to keep the piece on the wall, it is awful, and really ruins the friendly vibe around the piece.

The good news is that the Crayon Soldier has received another cleaning (bottom pic) and this statement, along with the swastikas and other scrawls, and the MBW tag have all been removed, but the Crayon Soldier still stand strong, and still fights on~

If you haven't been to see this piece in person yet, we would highly recommend making the trip sooner rather than later. It is a spectacular piece of art in person, and it might be gone at any time. If you want to see Banksy's Crayon Soldier, it is located on Kinross street, in between Westwood and Glendon.

Thanks to Matthew Love for the pic of the Banksy piece cleaned up. We hope that the Crayon Soldier stays victorious!

Family Day at Banksy's Crayon Soldier -Unfortunately Defaced Again

Banksy is still a hot spot in LA, and right after we rolled in a bunch of people showed up to take pictures.

We got some cool shots of kids interacting with the Crayon Soldier.

Unfortunately, Banksy's piece got defaced again. It is so shameful we don't even want to give it the credit of a front article feature. But click the jump to see the wrong done to the Crayon Soldier, and also shots of kids playing around in front of the artwork.

Clearly, whoever defaced this Banksy had nothing really to say. Such an absolute shame to scrawl just stupid little marks and swastikas on it. Next time, please say nothing.

Hopefully this will get cleaned right off like the previous marks.

The kids, on the other hand, were awesome! They jumped out of the car and ran towards the piece yelling 'Banksy!!!" And you can see from the interaction in the pics that they really appreciate the piece on a whole different level.

Banksy's Crayon Soldier Hit! - A Vandal Gets Vandalized!!

Banksy's Crayon Boy has been vandalized with a bucket of paint thrown at it, and a red MBW scrawled next to it.

MBW is Mr. Brainwash's moniker.

Clearly, we don't think that this damage was done by Mr. Brainwash, although someone sure wants to stir things up and make people think so.

This shot made our jaw drop and heart skip. It is such a shame to see such a beautiful piece of art ruined.

We had been getting word that the management company was already planning to paint over the Crayon Soldier, and now it seems more likely than ever that the buff will happen.

It is the ultimate irony that makes it so tragic when a vandal such as Banksy gets vandalized.

***Big thanks to Jeff Sargeant for sending in the pic!***
