banksy hits LA for oscars

*forgive lack of formality. will make prettier tomorrow, i promise

Banksy’s gearing up for the Oscar’s by making some changes of his own to tinseltown.
He’s in town for his amazing documentary: Exit Through the Gift Shop – a must MUST see.

Almost a Dark Knight-type “everyone’s batman” beginning, potential false banksy sitings included.
There’s an excess of individual posts of all the current banksy pieces & their immediate execution.
Here’s your one stop shop, shop lifted from our internet’s excessiveness & here i add:
