Are you Banksy?

Newshour

Available for over a year

On Monday, famous graffiti artist Banksy claimed a mural that had appeared on a building in north London neighbourhood as his own. The piece features swathes of green paint on a wall behind a nearby tree to give the appearance of leaves. Carlos Serrano, a BBC journalist and London resident, woke up in the morning to find the Banksy's latest creation right outside his window. And that has changed his life... at least in the past few days. "Are you Banksy?" is a question he has been asked a lot in the last few days. Carlos says discovering had led to some "crazy and busy days". But as he tells Newshour's Tim Franks, he also feels very happy "because this an opportunity to meet and talk to new people, to feel like I'm really part of this community."
