Your support makes all the difference.A new piece of street art, which is suspected to be the work of Banksy, has appeared in Nottingham.
The graffiti, which is on Ilkeston Road in Radford, shows a young girl hula-hooping with the wheel of a bicycle, next to a real bike that is a missing a back wheel.
Banksy has not yet publicly claimed responsibility for the art, and a spokesperson for the secretive artist told the BBC they did not have any information on it.
A local shop owner also told the BBC a van “with blacked out windows” arrived on Tuesday evening (13 October), and the driver pretended his vehicle had broken down “but he was there for at least two hours”.
They said the man bought two Ribenas from their shop and when they asked who the artist was, the man simply “winked”.
Banky’s identity has famously remained unknown to the public.
Last month, Art Attack presenter Neil Buchanan was forced to issue a denial after a bizarre conspiracy theory identifying him as Banksy went viral.
