Big Face Poster on City Road, by HowAboutNo on Aug 25, 2006 0:10:46 GMT 1, Hi Rattus, The face is by Obey - we were talking about it originally being based on Andre the Giants (WWF Wrestler) face and how it spiralled from there. A.K.A Shepard Fairey - Obey was created as a "non brand" that just spiralled.
I believe the Banksy tag once accompanied a telly being thrown out of the window, this paticular one was cool as the "window" was painted within the frame of an old advertising billboard - looked really cool. Is the one in the Wall and Piece book.

The TV at Angel has been gone for quite a long time I think.
yes, the version at Old Street (corner of Rivington St) should still be there - it's been there for ages and is in a scabby car park, so I presume the owners are happy to keep it there. will be on the Part 4 tour.
well thanks guys. Shame to have missed the tele one. Isn't there one down near Old Steet now? guess I'll find out on The Banksy Tour part 4.

cool. I always wondered where the TV had been (at Angel). The tag is massive and also the only one I can think of that has an exclamation mark after it!!

Shep was here in the spring I think. I'm just guessing coz quite a few Obey posters went up around then, including the ones over the Pulp Fiction site.
