INSTANT CLASSIC: BANKSY ROLLER ZORRO BRONZE SCULPTURE

Banksy puts his street art spin on the classic Zorro image. Who knew Zorro was such a painting badass? The Roller Zorro bronze statue of undetermined size is from an edition of 12, released this year.

Update (6/19/2012): All signs are pointing to one word on this one: FAKE! Should have been more suspect when the details on this statue were pretty scant.  Proof that this doesn't exist is evidenced by the behind photo added to 'BackerProjects' flckr page earlier today. And yes, we wish this was real, too.
