According to Arrested Motion, there was some confusion in London over the weekend when street artist Mantis threw up some work in one of Banksy’s regular spots, “Old Street.” Adding to the fracas was the inclusion of bananas, as seen in the original Banksy-Pulp Fiction (1st above) piece.

However, it was discovered that this work, which depicts emaciated African children holding banana peels, actually belongs to Mantis. I almost prefer his take on the original. Thoughts?
