Graffiti Guerilla Artist Banksy to Tag L.A.

The satirical British guerilla graffiti artist Banksy will hold a three day “extravaganza” in Los Angeles this weekend. The notorious artist has already embarrassed Disneyland when he placed a hooded figure representing a Guantanamo detainee inside the fence of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride. It took Disneyland officials 90 minutes to find it and close down the ride to remove it.

Other stunts included sneaking in “alternative” masterpieces into major art museums and galleries. It took three days for the British Museum to notice his fake cave painting showing a man pushing a shopping cart.

Be on the lookout for his “vandalized warehouse” event this weekend. Wonder when someone will decide that it’s more profitable to salvage one of his images rather than paint it over as common graffiti.
