My friend found this today walking home from work. He said he never saw it before this week. 
Thoughts?

Please tell me there is more to this seal. Waiting for a clever explanation

I am pretty sure I saw this about a month ago.

Saw from across road and didn't investigate.

I could be wrong - but looks like same street.

It’s hard to understand how the Barbican ones were painted without authorisation from someone in the building so doesn’t surprise me at all.

^^ thanks for the info. I don't get to Manhattan often so I have no idea. With the buzz going around the city right now, I think it keeps everyone's eyes peeled. It very well could have been there for awhile but he never noticed. I figured people here could help verify or not.

I think it's simply reacting to his surroundings, no? He painted the capitalistic developer displacing families across the street and then found some inspiration from the missing mobil gas sign.  Unless I'm missing something deeper, perhaps just having a bit of fun like these:

All I know is that the moment Banksy arrived in the US a serial bomber went to work

The clock rat in NYC is pretty fun.. 

The Barbican Ferris wheel I thought was pretty humorous.  

This has also been one of my faves of recent years.

I heard rumors Banksy is now taking commissions to create art on high priced New York City real estate that isn't selling. Even more lucrative than the art world.

🤔Wonder if he'd do my kitchen?..... And the hall.....I hate painting. 🤔

So you join a predominately Banksy board 4 months ago and this is what you have to offer? Drive by lameness?

Thabks I really couldn't think of any. Recently it's been such heavy serious political works.

Am I the only one paying attention?

Have another look at the shadow cast by the sun.

This critter may be slackchaining, but there's nothing fun about vampire rats.

I feel like I've seen that seal stencil used before by someone.

Wouldn't be that.... It reminds me of a Paul Insect piece, but then I might be imagining things.

Brick layers and renderers made it possible. Thank you builders

Can’t believe Banksy is having a go at the Seals now! What he is trying to say is that they play around all day, eat fish, meaning a depletion in the fish stocks so the hard-working fishermen, have less catch and less money.
Guess he cannot pick on the bankers too much as they are the only ones who can afford to buy his work, where as the lazy seals are not part of his demographic

And they wouldn't have anything to build if it weren't for architects.

You are welcome guys!
