THE mysterious Halesowen 'Banksy' appears to have left a new artwork - this time a bit further afield.

A spray painted child engrossed in a book has been spotted on Anytime Fitness on the Hagley Road West, Wolverhampton Road junction in Birmingham.

Nathan Jones sent in the snap of the work and asked if the artist could be the same person who has left a series of paintings on buildings around Halesowen.

The latest work joins a young boy on Ivy Street and a baby boy boxer on Benjamin's in Birmingham Street.

There is also a small spaceman carrying a Tesco bag also appeared at Group Gear Ltd on Bromsgrove Road as well as a boy holding a boom box under the caption 'keep it real' on a building in Dudley Road, close to Teamworks Karting

The mysterious artworks have delighted across the town, with many expressing their admiration for the elusive artist.

Halesowen BID launched an appeal to track him down with a view to collaborating on art projects in the town.
