Beautiful colour on the big blue bone. I must get me a can of that. He uses Krylon right?

[rabbitlegs]

Each time I look at this picture it gets better!

*said with volcanicity*... 'How do you do it?' Banksy

[Ågent ßacardi]

It looks so great!! The colors are so striking! Would anybody who's planning to go look at it in-situ please take a high-res photo to share with the rest of us? It looks like there's a lot of detail going on over there...

Banksy's back!!! Yesssss!!!!!!!

Thanks ratpack! You've brightened up my day!!! +1

[classy]

it's really just a better, more subtle version of morons

[wezzley]

Nearest Tube is bethnal green. Though it's a long way from the station - at least 20+ minute walk.

Bus is the best way.

I'm right by there and will take some pics tomorrow.

Nearest tube is Mile End

Ratpack +1 from me also for posting this find. Good to see Mr B back at work in London (assuming of course it's him, which seems to be the concensus).

I think Mile End and Bethnal Green are pretty much equidistant.

I'm going via there now to take some high res pics. I'll post them after work, if someone else hasn't done so already by then.

More pictures...(in daylight!)

Mile End is easist as there's a good bus to it. Get the 277 through Vicky Park and get off at the first stop by the Empress of India.

Ratpack - nice work on the extra pics.

I've just had a look at the piece myself. It's just awesome!

I think we're pretty safe to assume Banksy's back! Aside from the image itself, on closer inspection the finish is just typical Banksy. Obviously you can never be 100% sure, but this looks pretty much spot on.

Incidentally, if people are interested it's painted on the side of Namo, a Vietnamese Restaurant. No immediate relevance in terms of placement.

[Curley]

you cant beat a cheap knob gag.
This piece is stunning to say the least.
The genius thing is the newspapers cant print it and the council will have to remove it.

Im not sure it will last the day as the council were looking at it when i got there this morning.






;D

[corblimeylimey]

Fantastic job on the new pics Ratpack & Curley, thanks very much, it looks brilliant.

[absyrd]

I think Banksy saw an early screening of Superbad and was inspired. If you see the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Anyhow... great piece. This one really has dimension/depth.

[cosmic]

i recon it's him

[mammal2]

A few more taken today. Nearly got raped by a tramp!

Uh? talk about random! great pics though ;D

Cheers Mammal.

Maybe Curley, Mammal and Ratpack would you like to join the Flickr Banksy group and upload your pics to the pool?

yep, can do...

[corblimeylimey]

Cheers Curley, you'll be the first to do so, it's good to see Banksy's work so fresh before it gets defaced, faded or buffed/painted over.

[Strange Al]

Curley, Ratpack and Mammal have all posted great pics already, but here's a couple more (I took tons but won't bore you):


A high res image without any street furniture in the way.


One for placement.

[corblimeylimey]

Well done jjoschi, good to get all the angles covered, and you never know how long it's going to be around for.

Have to agree there. i was up and out super early before work to check it out.
its stunning and makes nice change to talk about some thing other than prints and respect points.

;D

[corblimeylimey]

I was on quite a high after visiting the new Glastonbury one when it was very fresh, I agree Curley this is what it's all about.

[chas]

That looks so good!

The detail is amazing. Plus nothing beats a bit of graffiti with an boner in it! alsways raises a childlike titter!

def agree. thanks for all the pics- in one of them i thought it looked like shefton road so it's nice to see the last one clearly shows it as shafton. i hope it still looks like that when i go to see it at the weekend

[Strange Al]

It'll be interesting to see if the owners of the restaurant get into a discussion with the local council about whether the piece should stay or go.

[carl]

Going tomorrow, cant wait to see it. Beautiful

[Fearkiller]

morning,

Thanks for the pics really nice.

But just one question anyone an idea why banksy stopped tagging his pieces?

greetz

[RetroCanvas]

So it cant be proven 100% that it was him?

I think it's also a bit of a public misconception that Banksy always tagged his pieces. I'm sure I thought that too. Though if you flick through any of his books you'll notice that the majority of works aren't actually tagged.
