New Banksy on Shoreditch bridge??

[mido]

the ebay forum said a new banksy went up on Shoreditch Bridge
on Thursday night, almost resulting in an arrest...

It's the disused bridge over Old st. the one that had the smiley coppers on it.

I was in the area today and took some photos....

My proper Black & White version will probably be on sale on ebay within a few weeks :-)

That's my first shameless plug for my photos since I started them a few months ago ;D

Good pics ,Mido

My mate came back from Shoreditch yesterday and said the streets were awash with crap stencils from Banksy wanabees.
I told him about this article
www.jaccuselondon.com/opinion_banksy.html

'bout sums it up he said
The backlash begins...............

well shoreditch is one huge shit hole. I know it quite well now. I am amazed that it's such a 'cool place'. There is some exc graf, but there is also loads of rubbish, and literally loads of rubbish (litter) everywhere as well.

The real people (hackney / brick lane people) are fine, but the Nathan Barley thing is completely true - you should see what some of the geezers wear in the area. And I actually saw a guy on brick lane yesterday who had white 5 spoke mag wheels on his BMX (JUST like we dreamed of owning in the early 80's!)

heh, I find the following disclaimer rather ironic at the end of that article though....

"The views expressed on the pages of Jaccuse London are not necessarily the views of the J'accuse Collective or anybody involved in J'accuse Ltd."

Ooooh, I'm so radical, but I won't even take responsibility for my own views....

i had wheels like that on my bike...... and a basket and a bell.

shoreditch is a dump and always will be - end of debate.

as we say up north (and now west london), you can't polish a turd - although some people have tried it appears

leave it to the nathan's of the world with their whacky iPods and re-issue Hawkwind Tees.

spot on everyone :-)

I might go there to take photos but I don't have to like the place! (I do like POW though and a great Kebab cafe on Old Street)

Those are the wheels! on the right.

Imagine that, riden by a shoreditch tw@t, with a Hoxton fin & blonde highlights (we used to make do with Sun-In when I were a lad), ripped jeans, and probably 8 i-pods and 3 bluetooths ;D

It's gone......

Yes, the train company apparently scraped it off.

well most of it - I'll post some pics soon.

P.S. It was defo a banksy job :-)

[mido]

as promised - photo from yesterday!

Maybe we'll see another one this weekend
Didn't the last one go up over the bank holiday?
He should paste them up using PVA , much harder to remove
