The howling wolf is the fourth new animal-based artwork to be unveiled by Banksy in four days. There was a pooping ibex in Kew Green, two elephants in Chelsea, three monkeys swinging on a railway bridge in Shoreditch and now this big hairy alpha.
All of this comes hot on the heels of Banksy's really quite messy splash of green paint in Hornsey in March and the stop sign he covered with images of drones last December. That makes six new London Banksys in the past year, what a treat.
The official Banksy Instagram account posted images it, but almost as quickly as it was sprayed in place, it was nicked. That's right, some hooded hoodlums nabbed it in broad daylight, stealing it for their own private art collection (probably) instead of letting the good people of south London share in the aesthetic glory of Banksy. How cruel, how selfish.
