One of the most famous street artists in the world, graffiti artist Banksy asked thieves to steal clothes from a Guess store in London. He says the establishment used his art without permission. The artist, whose identity is unknown, posted the request on his Instagram profile.
“Beware all shoplifters. Please go to Guess on Regent Street. You took my art without permission, how can it be wrong if you do the same with your clothes?” he wrote.

Last week the artist posted images of graffiti made in Borodianka, on the outskirts of the capital Kyiv, Ukraine, a country that has been at war with Russia since earlier this year. He later confirmed that he created seven murals scattered in different cities on Ukrainian territory.
The black and white graffiti shows a gymnast doing a handstand on some concrete blocks of a building in Borodianka that was completely destroyed by bombing.
