Creating artwork around Somerset in places like Brean, Bridgwater, Weston, and many more &#8211; he is considered Somerset&#8217;s answer to the\u00a0notorious artist, Banksy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The last piece of artwork he created depicted a black and white young girl leaning down, wearing Nike Air Force trainers with puckered-up lips and a heart sign used with her hands. Created in the same style that is synonymous with Banksy&#8217;s creations.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   width=\"100%\" alt=\"Banksy like artwork in Somerset.\"\/>A new Banksy-like piece of artwork appears at a seaside spot in Somerset. (Image: Contributed)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The artwork has caught a lot of attention, with all of it being &#8220;good&#8221; according to the artist. Painted at the end of October, the piece is a fitting tribute for Remembrance Sunday and has been titled &#8216;Lest We Forget&#8217;.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Disney, whose real name is kept a secret, like Banksy, said: &#8220;This piece is a Lest We Forget tribute, out of respect for the fallen.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I painted this last week, but as I walk dogs that way, a lot of people have been taking photos and talking about it.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I even had a conversation with a bloke who didn\u2019t know I actually painted it, so it\u2019s got a bit of attention already, and all of it has been good\u00a0so far.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Based in Birmingham, Somerset is the one county the artist has regularly visited, spray painting onto the \u201cboring\u201d walls of car parks, public toilets, and derelict buildings.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The street artist added, \u201cI do seem to travel down south just to get out of Birmingham; I go wherever my art takes me. I do not have a preference where I paint; places seem to call out to me.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Disney also uses artwork to mark important events in the UK\u2019s history. He is often mistaken for Banksy, the Bristol-based pseudonymous street artist, who hosted the Dismaland art project in Weston-super-Mare back in 2015.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The street artist confirms\u00a0artwork on an Instagram account with 51,500 followers, with the handle @Disney.b32.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An artist, known as\u00a0Disney.B32, is the creator behind the new mural, which can be found on the side&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254318,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-254317","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-design","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254317\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
