Banksy's back in town
New! Gas Station Banksy
Originally uploaded by one-11 So Arlette and I are driving back from the Ed Harcourt show, and we're passing a gas station and I'm low on gas. As I pull up to the pump my arm shoots out as though with a will of its own and I find myself pointing at a BRAND NEW BANKSY on the gas station wall. "Is that... is that...???" I stammer. "Banksy!" shouts Arlette.
And sure enough it is. And there's another one on the other side of the station, partially hidden behind the car wash canopy.
According to the attendant, two men pulled up in a car one morning and asked the station manager if it would be okay to paint some murals on his establishment. The manager said, "Sure."
The attendant was very happy to see Arlette and me running around taking pictures. I think he digs the Banksys.
