De Engelse straat en graffiti artiest Banksy bivakeert op het ogenblik in Los Angeles waar hij waarschijnlijk binnenkort zijn Oscar voor Exit Through the Gift Shop mag ophalen. Maar een echte kunstenaar zit daar niet op zijn reet in de zon, dus Banksy maakt nu LA onveilig met spuitbussen en rollers. Het resultaat van de afgelopen dagen is heir onder te zien.

A billboard company just ripped down a Sunset Blvd. sign that had been tagged by Academy Award nominee Banksy - just a few short days after the legendary graffiti artist touched it up in the first place.
The Mickey Mouse inspired artwork - which mysteriously appeared a few days ago - was just taken down ... but no one at the scene will tell us why. [Probably because it was covering the ad, dipsh*t -Ed.]
We're told employees at the gas station directly below the billboard offered to pay $10,000 for the artwork - but the billboard company refused.

UPDATE: A physical altercation just broke out over the sign - cops have responded to the scene.
