[My Name is Frank]

[Onket]

There might be a clue, that estate agent board looks a lot like JDM who operate in Bromley, Beckenham, Eltham and Orpington. So South London maybe?

Hornsey Rd, Finsbury Park, London N19 4HT

Before the tree was trimmed 😉

[My Name is Frank]

Nice one Acme, miles off with my sleuthing, not even a JDM sign

Simple but effective. I like it.

I’m sure a photo from a higher vantage point would give a better perspective.

"Butchered" or "pollarded" would be more appropriate than "trimmed" 👍🏼

Not sure who’s it is, but it’s impossible to not love a fire extinguisher piece! 🔥🧯

I hope the people with the top floor terrace got a good view. 😀

[Majestic]

That is very beautiful.

It's great. Don't think you need the figure but I like it

[Dice]

No feet on the figure

Hornsey Road and it’s very wet (as in paint) so was done this morning.

Go get a A0 sheet and get an impression of the character. 😉

[Acme Thunderer]

Police have already released a photo of the suspects…

100% a Banksy.

Other than the fact it’s pretty obvious, the light source and direction of face is pretty identical to VLH and the spray machine is the same as the graffiti removal guy from Cans.

He must ve been waiting years for α tree tο be slaughtered like that.

[Carl Cashman Art]

Very nice, more than happy to be wrong but I'm saying yes

[Behind The Beats]

100% Mr B

[hupster]

Feeling is it is but if not its still a great piece. Clever use of the surroundings and angle.

The greenery on the wall looks a lot like an Irish shamrock (☘). The Boston Celtics use it as a symbol. I had a Boston Celtics hoodie from many years ago.

That wall is fantastic.
Congratulations to whoever created it.

It could be by Banksy. 👍🤙
The message is interpretative. 😎

[Wearology]

Definitely Banksy - the feet and the reused girl from NOLA stencil are a dead give away !

It does make you wonder sometimes, considering his works are often location specific, how does he find these spots? Does he have a team of people all reporting back? Or does he just drive about in a van, making a mental note of whenever he sees something he can work with? I mean, many of his street pieces are spread out across the length and breadth of the land.

Makes you think.

I believe it is an important and heavy pruning.
But the tree's crown will be reborn in spring.

Some of the residents will have defo watched, and maybe filmed, the whole thing.

On my street you can't so much as urinate into a bin without a neighbour filming you or contacting the Council.

The biggest giveaway is that it first appeared on Street Art News as "Something new from Banksy " - and that's the place where they uploaded nearly every Banksy piece for the first time for years now.
