[jusdeep]

love the balloon poodle. genius as always

[disclizard]

noice!!

hope there is a print to coincide with the US release!

[stanley]

Is the guard black but has white arms?

[mj]

I like it, but agree that colour tone on the harms is a bit off
in relation to face. But saying that I wouldn't mind having
it on my living room wall.
Any more pics?

[jeezuzjonessnr]

Looks like he's been to the 'Blue Oyster Bar' for a night out perhaps he has the same skin disease as MJ??

Recieved this tweet from OBEY:

Fresh #Banksy we spotted on La Brea & 4th! In time for the doc release in LA, Note commentary on Jeff Koons! twitpic.com/1epdk1

Probably more of a nod than a dig

Here are a few more quick snaps of the new Banksy in LA:

[foreman]

this guys literally around the corner from my place.
Spotted it out of the corner of my eye while driving last night...
The color scheme and placement screamed banksy to me!
Immediately stopped to take a photo but the camera on my phone sucks with low light..

So i walked over again this morning to film it with my flip HD.

Its still uploading, but eventually u should be able to watch it in HD if you click on the link


Its an awesome piece! The details in the shading on the pink balloons are really well done, and the little shaded brown 'badge' on his hat is a nice touch.

[fragile]

Cheers for the video. What is the building?

[rkitek]

It's a vacant structure - it used to be a car dealership I think.

[foreman]

The building is an old car dealership, empty below with a two floor parking garage above it.

update- heres a better view

The stencil work is brilliant.. Looks so much better close up!!

Im sure we can expect to see something else pop up sooner rather than laters! Unless its already up but just not been found yet!!!

Love it... like the koons esc balloon dog. Def more to come..

[rsyok]

Amazing, hey foreman did you think you'd ever have your own local Banksy?
