Banksy confirms new Bristol artwork

Bristol's elusive graffiti artist has confirmed a mural in Totterdown is his latest work.

Banksy posted a picture of the creation on his official website this afternoon (December 10).

Appearing near to the mural in the photo is a mysterious man carrying an umbrella being blown in the wind.

Residents told Bristol Live the picture, on Vale Street appeared first thing this morning.

A protective plastic covering has now been placed over it by the house's former tenant Fred Loosmore, who moved out last week.

Crowds have been gathering to view the creation, which appeared on the side of a semi-detached, all afternoon.

The painting shows an old woman sneezing with her false teeth flying out, and looks similar to a number of previous works by the elusive artist.

Fred said he wasn’t sorry he had moved out: “I can still come and see it can’t I?”

Banksy has been doing a lot of work in England this year, including the "Hula-hoop" girl in Notthingham and a picture of a rat on the London underground.

Yesterday (December 9) a mysterious monolith was spotted on Glastonbury Tor, with 'Not Banksy' written half way up the installation.
