The artist who claims to have created the 'Never liked this Banksy' graffiti piece branded the decision to cut it out the wall and sell it for £250,000 as "appalling".
Silent Bill, an anonymous local street artist, told the ECHO today how he did the piece as a tongue in cheek homage to Banksy. The piece, which depicts a rat with a paintbrush next to the words 'never liked this Banksy' once sat beneath the Banksy Love Plane on the wall of Norwich House on Rumford Street in Liverpool city centre.
It was removed, along with the Love Plane in 2016, and was due to feature in the failed Berry House "street art gallery". The piece has now been sold at auction and was featured on new Channel 4 series The Greatest Auction hosted by AJ Odudu.
