Artist Banksy creates ‘self-portrait’ on East London office block

Graffiti artist Banksy has allegedly created a self-portrait on the side of an office block in Shoreditch, East London. The piece shows a rat wearing a necklace, which is an image frequently used by the artist, holding a placard with a face on it.

The face is recognisable from a photo of a man believed to be Banksy, which was taken in 2004 at a graffiti-spraying event in Jamaica. (via The Times)
