Appeal to find 'Stanksy' graffiti artist who scrawled 'I farted in yoga' on wall in west London
A graffiti vandal in Hammersmith & Fulham scrawled “I farted in yoga” on hoardings at a building site in Shepherd’s Bush. Video shows the tagger delivering the message while teenagers pass by, stop, and laugh. After completing the graffiti, the man smokes a cigarette and walks away. Hammersmith & Fulham Council removed the graffiti and issued an appeal asking anyone who recognizes the person to contact Crimestoppers anonymously. The council posted the request on Instagram, providing the date and location of the vandalism. Social media reactions were mixed, with some treating it as vandalism and others jokingly framing it as performance art.
"A mystery vandal has turned Hammersmith & Fulham into an open-air confessional, after scrawling the phrase I farted in yoga on the side of a building site. The graffiti artist, dressed in shorts and a white T-shirt, can be seen casually delivering the announcement complete with a backwards E' for added artistic intent onto the hoardings in Shepherd's Bush. Footage shared by Hammersmith & Fulham Council shows the moment a group of teenagers walk past before stopping to watch and laugh."
"After finishing his piece, the man is seen smoking a cigarette before walking off. Now, council officers have issued an appeal to anyone who might know the tagger to come forward. Hammersmith & Fulham Council are appealing to find the mystery graffiti artist. Hammersmith & Fulham Council officers have removed the graffiti."
"A spokesperson for Hammersmith & Fulham Council wrote on Instagram: Do you recognise this man? He vandalised hoardings in Uxbridge Road - Shepherds Bush - on Saturday 2 May 2026. If so, please contact @crimestopperstrust anonymously by calling 0800 555 111 or via their website. H&F Council officers have removed the graffiti."
"Taking to the comments, social media users were split over whether the mysterious wall-scrawling should be treated as vandalism or performance art, with some taking a decidedly lighter view. One commenter dubbed the elusive author Stanksy a pungent, unofficial cousin of Banksy while another went a step further, hailing him a legend. One person joked: Police are going to have to sniff every yoga class in a kilometer radius."
