Here's a pic of the mural at the early stages from the Flickr page of Irony, one of the artists responsible:

 

                                                                        Picture: Irony (The Artist) © All rights reserved

 

I note that on another of his pictures he has this picture tagged as "#bringbackbanksy".

On the Flickr page of the second artist involved, Boe, we learn that the picture took about four hours to paint. There's also a comment by another Flickr user saying "they are coming back....".

So sit tight, it seems that Banksy made have made the area around Turnpike Lane tube station a popular one for street artists.

I agree. Its Fab! it would be rather nice if the area drew more artists and media types. Is the start of things to come for the area.... 

Shepard Fairey, Turnpike lane, then The Banksy story and now this new addition... pop up art, makes the place more appealing. ...

I think it's horrible! It's too big and ferocious looking. Not very inviting at all.
