I guess Banksy has got a lot to answer for.

This piece of graffiti, on a wall not far from the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, (I’ve seen similar images popping up in other places around the city) really appeals to me. The blending of a Welsh cultural icon with spray paint and stencils, placed in the ‘Europe’s youngest capital city’ demonstrates the struggle between traditional identity and ambition to stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in Europe that we experience in contemporary Wales…

(Or then again perhaps it’s just a picture of a rugby player…)

(And is this really street art, or did the council pay for it..?)
