I ran across this work in Ashville, North Carolina on November 29th, 2008. I was driving down the street with my wife when it caught her attention immediately. She told me to stop the car quickly because she' was pretty sure she just saw a Banksy piece on the side of the road. It does appear to be his work, but I can't find any info on the webb concerning it or for that matter any mention of Banksy ever being in Asheville, North Carolina. I live in New Orleans and have visited a number of his works here and I know he was in Alabama and I'm wondering if he may have continued on up to Asheville and left this there. Also, about 150 feet away from the Chaplin portrait I found what may be a tag.
What do you think?

Why its not a Banksy

[derbigny6]

[Tiki]

Is that a tag in the top right corner? Either way it's shit, so maybe it is a Banksy! (Ooooooooohhhhh)

[Deleted]

it is !!

[Deleted]

shit ,that is

[wiz]

I would hazzard a guess at definitely not.

[mammal2]

I would say 10000% an excellent example of a Banksy. I jest. IMO prob not!

took some photos didn't you? it's not a banksy,

[Deleted]

i would still love it if you tried to cut it out sorry i know it's sick, sorry don't do it

[romanywg]

It's just a stencil of Charlie Chaplin. No humour, no statement, no irony, wit, nothing. What on earth makes you think it's a Banksy?

[Daz]

def nah

[derbigny6]

I live in New Orleans where I work as a free-lance videographer. I was hired by a news organization to shoot video of the remaining Banksy pieces in the city after his recent visit here in August. I became familiar with his style and ran across the Chaplin portarait while on a road trip recently. To the untrained eye such as mine it does look like one of his. Sorry for the false alarm.

Dont be sorry, its good you came here to ask peoples advice. Welcome to the forum anyhow.

[buffin]

No problem. As romany said with a Banksy you nearly always get more than just an image.

[derbigny6]

A couple of the ones I shot video of:


Rain Girl has been covered with plexiglass.

[arcam]

Could it be a Banksy? No chance.

[buffin]

Love the umbrella girl. A humorous image but with many differant possible meanings.
