Does anyone know what the white tank sitting in Santa Monica beside the PCH is? The one that says "This looks a bit like an elephant". Any idea who painted that on it, and what kind of tank it is?

Cool. Did Banksy put it there, or just add the commentary?

I know what you are thinking, but this guy's stuff looks good. Maybe illegal but I wish the low life taggers would get a clue from Banksy. LOL

Exactly..... I don't care how good it looks, it's still destruction of property.

I really hate tagging and most of the high-brow graffiti art doesn't do anything for me. But I don't mind stuff like this, it's funny and really isn't destroying anything that wasn't already blight anyway. I go back and forth on his stuff, sometimes it's very clever, sometimes it's nonsense.
