The Boston Banksy; "FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS-CANCELLED", aka Chimney Sweep

A second Banksy, titled "NO LOITRIN", graced the brick wall of a building on Essex St. in Cambridge until it was painted over in 2010. The remaining Banksy is located in a parking lot in Chinatown, also on a street named Essex. I visited early on a Sunday morning when the lot was empty; otherwise it's impossible to get up close.

I saw it a few times when it was still pristine, but as you can see it's a popular spot.

NOTE: Sadly, this had been whitewashed by the time I went to check in late 2011/early 2012.

Stencils on light poles

Skeleton!

(Cambridge, MA., September, 2010)

We had a long, snowy winter, and unfortunately, this one is now almost gone.

Beauty and the Beast, Inman Square

BEAUTY's still there, but she's a bit faded. And the house looks even closer to collapsing. When I walked by again this January, this guy was there. I think it's alchemical symbolism, but I need to do more research.

Dinosaur Stencil

(Cambridge, MA., September 2010)

This little dinosaur was on a sidewalk at the intersection of Brattle and Mason St., and it now but a ghost.

Cover your eyes, children!

(Cambridge, MA., June 2011)

I've been walking by this for a couple months, and it makes me giggle. If I remember correctly, there were originally two identical stenciled suggestions, within a few hundred yards of each other. While this one is in front of a private residence the second was on Harvard property and was probably scrubbed away quickly. (It wasn't in front of a women's dorm.)
