One of Banksy‘s most recent works titled Art Buff in Folkestone, England has found itself with an interesting addition overnight. The graffiti piece originally appeared two weeks ago in Payers Park in time for the Folkestone art triennial, which has attracted the likes of Yoko Ono. Originally depicting an old woman with headphones staring at empty space atop a plinth, that same empty space was unceremoniously occupied with a spray-painted penis on Sunday evening.

Leave your thoughts on the aesthetic value of the updated graffiti piece in the comments below.
