New Banksy - Roller Zorro

Despite my initial reservations, it looks as though the latest Banksy I spotted up on the Westway section of the A4 this week is legit. It turns out the image has been seen before, most recently at the Bristol exhibition (photo below from UK Street Art) and in previous shows. The thread on the Banksyforum includes a print of a very similar image and some more Bristol based evidence.

Sleuths have also suggested that the pink paint splashed around the new image is the same as used for banners at the Bristol show. That actually makes me more suspicious that it’s a smart fake and the fact that the image isn’t as crisp as usual….but for now, I think we can say the Bristol bomber has struck again.

Meantime, I love what appears to have been a Banksy hit at Bristol Zoo.
