Banksy: They vandalized his new graffiti 24 hours after he revealed it’s his work (photos)

The graffiti depicting a rat relaxing in a beach chair under an umbrella

Newsroom August 16 01:03

Residents of a seaside town in England have been outraged by the vandalism of a graffiti by the famous street artist Banksy, almost 24 hours after its creator confirmed that it is indeed his work.

The mysterious artist, whose true identity remains unknown, recently visited the seaside town of Lowestoft, Suffolk, England and left behind a graffiti depicting a rat relaxing in a beach chair under an umbrella.

But, just 24 hours after the confirmation that the talented creator is behind the “bathed” rat, surprised locals discovered on Sunday that their new city attraction had been covered in white paint.
