Beetle (2000) bronze by Nicola Hicks, @Bristol, Bristol (England)
A massive bronze of a beetle inspired by the Rhinoceros Beetle. It seats just outside the Bristol Aquarium, near the @Bristol centre (Bristol – England).
Its long thin antennae have been broken off by vandals and the artist, Nicola Hicks, has agreed to the casting of replacement screw-in antennae that are used on special occasions.
Coat of Arms has been painted by Nick Walker on 71a Park Street - Bristol (England).

This is not a Banksy… but a piece of graffiti art by Nick Walker, another famous Bristolian. Walker started in the 80's and was actually one of the people who inspired Banksy. You can find more information about this artist on his website.
