A brand new spray-painted stencil from the famend road artist Banksy has cropped up within the Taibach space in South Wales, UK.
A video of this newest work appeared on Banksy's Instagram account. It portrays a baby carrying winter clothes with a sled at his toes who's sticking his tongue out to catch snowflakes. As the digital camera pans out, it exhibits a dumpster fireplace on an adjoining wall with ashes and smoke pluming upwards and falling on the kid who believes the ashes he's catching on his tongue are literally snowflakes. The caption on the video merely reads "Seasons Greetings."
