Banksy has now confirmed he is behind the new murals that appeared in several coastal England towns earlier last week via a video posted to his instagram and images shared on his website. Several stencilled pieces in the elusive artist's unique style appeared in Lowestoft in Suffolk, Gorleston and Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, immediately causing intense speculation.

The video Banksy shared, takes viewers on a journey he calls the Great English Spraycation. It opens with an RV transporting the artist from one site to the next, with an accordion rendition of Dance Monkey by Australian singer Tones & I playing in the background.
