Banksy in Hastings?
It's August, and in true British style even the artists have been heading for the seaside.
Debate has been raging on the Hastings Creatives mailing list after a piece of stencil-cut graffiti appeared in the town. Resembling a Banksy, it shows a child building a sandcastle decorated with the word 'Tesco'. So is it or isn't it an original by the notorious artist?
Well, here at artistsandmakers.com we've done our homework and spoken to the people that know. And yes, it is an original Banksy on the beach at Hastings.
Another reason why it's worth visiting the seaside this summer. Great contemporary art.
