New John D'oh street art in support of Ukraine appears on store front

Bristol street artist John D'oh has created a new piece of street art showing support for the people of Ukraine.

The artwork sees a young girl holding a teddy bear and the silhouette of a plane dropping bombs on a city in the background, all set against a blue sky and yellow ground - the colours of the Ukrainian flag. A message written on the piece reads: "Mum... Dad... Slaughtering civilians is a war crime".

The new art has been painted on a shopfront in Clevedon and John D'oh said it had been "so sad watching the news".

He shared photos of his latest work to Twitter yesterday morning (March 4) writing: "Painted at The Store, Alexandra Road Clevedon for the owner who wanted to show his support for #Ukraine.

"Slaughtering civilians is a war crime. So sad watching the news."

He also included the hashtags 'IStandWithUkraine' and 'WarCrime' and, from the photos, it looks like passers by have already been stopping outside The Store (full name 'The Store For The Curious') to take a proper look at the art.
