Glasgow's very own 'Banksy' back with new mural depicting kids attempting to blow up cash machine

During lockdown, Glasgow's very own Banksy, Rebel Bear, saw their work end up on websites and in newspapers across the globe thanks to a string of coronavirus-themed murals left across the city.

Namely the mural of the couple lowering their masks to kiss on Bank Street, the coronavirus 'ball and chain' mural on Bath Street and the mural dedicated to frontline staff in Ashton Lane.

And now after a short Glasgow hiatus, the graffiti artist has returned with an amazing new mural on the walls of a shopping and amusement complex in Cambuslang.

The mural depicts two kids attempting to blow up a cash machine with dynamite, with a girl pushing down on a detonator and the boy alongside her with his hands in his ears - with the dynamite located above the actual - out of service - ATM outside the complex on Western Road.

It comes days after we reported on the bizarre theory that the real Banksy could well have been the first person to stick a cone on the napper of the Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow city centre.

The theory is based on the distinct possibility that he used to live in the city (because he 'stole' loads of his early stencil ideas out a Glasgow paper), alongside the fact that the statue features in one of books and that he used it as inspiration for one of his subsequent artworks in London.
