📸 Less than 24 hours later, Nico Williams mural in Bilbao vandalised again
📸 Less than 24 hours later, Nico Williams mural in Bilbao vandalised again The mural honoring brothers Nico and Iñaki Williams in the Lutxana neighborhood of Barakaldo has once again been the target of a vandalism act. Just 24 hours after being restored following an initial attack, the image of Nico has once again been defaced with blue paint and accompanied by an insult painted next to his face. Advertisement This is the second attack in just one week. In the first incident, the face of the younger Williams was erased and the message in Basque "Joan edo geratu, errespetua galdu duzu" ("Whether you leave or stay, you have lost respect") was written, a clear reference to the possible transfer of the player to FC Barcelona. In response, the mural was restored this Thursday by artist Carlos López, with the support of Athletic Club, which financed the restoration work and publicly defended its player.

Residents unveil giant 'animated' mural
A six-storey high mural has been unveiled on a housing block in east London, inspired by the memories of those living on the estate. The Priory Court Unity Banner in Walthamstow was created by the street artists INSA, along with local residents, who shared their stories in workshops as part of a project celebrating the heritage of the community. The giant artwork illustrates the area's links to the sewing trade and the artist William Morris, nods to the global diversity of residents and celebrates nature and community. It has been created as an "augmented reality" artwork, so that it appears to animate as a moving GIF when looked at through a special viewer app. Ideas for the theme of the mural were developed during estate-wide resident consultations, which included face-to- face interviews, focus groups and workshops. Young people engaged in the project by learning some of INSA's painting techniques, while some older residents contributed by making appliques that were sewn on to the mural. Mustafa, a trainee mural assistant, said it "meant a lot" to him to work on the project. "I learned a lot of things, a lot of skills I didn't know about before." He added that "everyone smiles" when they look at the mural. Ibrahim, who helped produce the work, said he thought it would make the community "stronger and more connected". "I think the mural is absolutely incredible. You can just look at it and you can see that it tells a wonderful story."

Fishing boat with striking mural sinks in harbour
A fishing boat painted with a striking mural, which became a tourist attraction in Plymouth, has sunk. The vessel, which was built in 1961 and has been moored in Sutton Harbour for over a year, was illustrated with local attractions. Plymouth artist Kevin Preston told BBC Radio Devon that he and the boat's owner, Neal Stoneman, were "absolutely gutted" and they hoped it could be recovered on Tuesday. Footage and photos of the incident filmed by people in the Barbican area was widely shared on social media. Mr Preston said the boat had become a local attraction, adding that some of his friends from as far afield as Scotland had travelled to see it while on holiday. Illustrations painted on the vessel include the Hoe, Tinside Lido, Drake's Island, Mount Batten Pier, the coast of South East Cornwall, Plymouth Sound and Jennycliff Bay. Neal Stoneman said he had received a phone call alerting him to the incident at around 20:45 BST on Friday. He said by the time he got there he was told by the dock manager that "there was nothing that could be done at that time" and that he should come back on Saturday morning. When asked what might have caused the boat to sink, he said he had "no idea whatsoever because the boat's been there for 18 months now with not a problem". He said he hoped a team of divers could refloat the 26ft vessel and take it back to a boat storage facility in Plymouth on Tuesday.
