I thought this was Banksy, but I am wrong. Thanks to some readers of Motley News and Photos, they have provided the correct artist. He called himself “Criminal Chalkist,” but his real name is Paul Saville. According to his Facebook page, he has been arrested several times for “chalking,” and Paul provides the links the news sites such as The Guardian and The Telegraph. Well, Paul, regardless of what the police say and think, I think your work is fantastic!
