How can anyone spell the word 'more' so wrongly?
The main question I'm asking here is why would someone be up there bothering this piece?
He had a camera, so a photo was being taken at some point. He wasn't adding to the piece so must have been up close to take measurements?
FOR SALE: BANKSY WATER TANK..

Forget the art for a moment. The saddest part of that, is the guy at the start who lived inside it is once again homeless.

BANKSY "This Looks A Bit Like An Elephant", by ilmambo on Mar 9, 2011 10:22:11 GMT 1, Interesting story!
this pic was posted days ago and it looks very messy and dirt... Hard to believe that someone was still living there but who know... when you are homeless anything other than living on the street is good, I guess.

BANKSY "This Looks A Bit Like An Elephant", by v3rm33r on Mar 9, 2011 16:37:52 GMT 1, Saw a video with the homeless guy living there, and the place looked a lot better than the pictures above!! He also said he met Banksy when he came to paint, so would hope he gave this guy some cash to stay somewhere better. Banksy would have known that he wouldn't been able to live there after word got out about this piece.

BANKSY "This Looks A Bit Like An Elephant", by mj on Mar 9, 2011 19:09:20 GMT 1, v3rm33r I was just going to type what you wrote, I hope he did sort the guy out. If not we all should go banksy protest front to release a print ed. 1000 and all the kudos goes to the peace loving men. Does not look a bit like Haile Selassie I
or is just me?

BANKSY "This Looks A Bit Like An Elephant", by Sacked... on Mar 9, 2011 20:41:06 GMT 1, From Vandalog :
It seems that there is more to say about Banksy‘s recent piece, This Looks A Bit Like An Elephant, which was removed and is now for sale. Until as recently as September of 2010, a man had been living inside the water tank that Banksy painted. Tachowa Covington aka Rollerball has lived inside the tank for about seven years. In fact, it’s probably a good guess, although I can’t say for sure, that Tachowa was still living in the tank when Banksy painted it, given that he shows up in the video that Banksyelephant.com (the folks trying to sell the tank) have posted on their homepage and says that he saw Banksy paint the tank.
There have been a couple of short films made about Tachowa.
Melrose and Fairfax wonder if maybe Banksy was unaware of Tachowa’s story or that maybe he was aware of Tachowa but was doing a favor for a friend who wanted the tank removed (local residents had been trying to get the tank removed because it disrupts their view of the landscape, and if it weren’t a home, I’d probably agree with them). They also point out that whatever Banksy’s intent, the consequences seem to have left Tachowa homeless.
I’m not so sure about that though. Given that Banksy has dealt with the issue of homelessness before (including tangentially during the same trip to LA when This Looks A Bit Like An Elephant was painted), it seems possible that this piece was about homelessness (the elephant in the room) and that Banksy was aware that the tank was Tachowa’s home. If that’s true, the meaning of the piece becomes mutli-layered and more than a quick joke about the shape of the tank.
Either way, the questions are now: Where is Tachowa now, how is Tachowa doing, will Banksy help him out and has Banksy done so already?

Wow, hard to believe someone lived in there. i there even a big enough whole to get into the tank?
If true, I would love to hear Banksy's comments on all this.

BANKSY "This Looks A Bit Like An Elephant", by BlightSociety on Mar 12, 2011 0:57:21 GMT 1, Wasn’t there a story a few years back about some people who lived in a mobile home banksy painted? They had to sell it because they were afraid someone would steal it out from under them for the artwork if they didn’t.
Watch out all you guys who rent. If banksy comes and paints the side of your house your gonna have one less wall to keep the weather out come winter.
The guys got King Midas's touch.
