An artist is facing a police investigation following a mural he painted honouring Australian cricket legend Shane Warne.
The work depicts the widely adored sports figure in a suit and sunglasses and was painted on a brick wall on Canning Street in Carlton, Melbourne. Warne was 52 when he died of natural causes while holidaying on the island of Ko Samui in Thailand.
“So I usually cover the vandalism with my murals,” Jarrod Grech told news.com.au , adding his Warne piece covered a tribute to late American rapper DMX that previously occupied the space. "I’ve never had a problem there, I’ve been painting that wall for years."
