British graffiti artist Banksy is drawing crowds to his New York City mural but for an unfortunate reason.
It seems somebody has added a signature tag to his artful protest of the imprisonment of a Turkish artist and journalist.
Plenty of pedestrians were getting a look at the signings scrawled
across the bottom half of his 20m-long mural.
The mural bearing the slogan "Free Zehra Dogan" was recently installed on the Houston Bowery Wall, made famous by Keith Haring in the late 1970s.
The mural protests against the jailing of Dogan, an ethnic Kurd, after she painted the Turkish flag flying over the rubble of a destroyed town.
