Graffiti Vandal Spray-paints Homers on Boston Museum

A bush-league bootleg Banksy tagged a bunch of locations around the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston with some art of his own, including some crudely-drawn heads of Homer Simpson.

WHDH has footage of the graffiti, which shows several of the scribbles, the phrase “tell the truth,” and a reporter doing a wonderful job showing a statue pedestal where the paint used to be. That’s right, he talks about and gestures at a location that had already been cleaned. Groundbreaking stuff.

No word on whether or not the words “El Barto” appeared anywhere, or the phrase “I am a weiner.”

Security footage has been handed over to authorities, and a suspect is now being sought. Police describe him as being about 10 years of age, having spiky hair, and possibly riding a skateboard. He is also wanted in connection with the decapitation of a local statue.
