Banksy's New Street Art In His Hometown Of Bristol Has Already Been Vandalized
He replaced the earring with an outdoor security alarm for a much more Banksy-esque piece he calls "Girl with a Pierced Eardrum."
The mural in Bristol, UK was vandalized within 24 hours of its first appearance. On Tuesday, the work was found with dark paint thrown across the woman's face, according to BBC.

The new street art proves that reports of Banksy's arrest were a complete hoax.
A false story on Monday claimed that Banksy's London art studio had been raided and thousands of dollars of counterfeit money and future vandalism projects had been found, according to The Independent.
The secretive Banksy intervened and sent a letter to the owner of the youth club saying he could use it to raise money. The mural was sold for over over $650,000 to keep the youth club open.
For more of Banksy's work, head over to his artist's website where he posts updates and photos of his street art.
