GRAINY CCTV footage has been obtained showing what could be Ulverston's Banksy leaving his latest pieces of artwork in the dead of night.

Cameras placed on Hoad in Ulverston might have captured the mysterious artist known as LoKi installing a series of mud-rock figures across the town earlier this week.

The figures have been left on the roundabout on the A590 entitled Dawn of Modern Man 2017: An Ulverston Odyssey and at various other locations, with more being added over the last 24 hours on a boat at the canal and on a playground bike.

A cheeky sign has also been added to one of the Welcome to Ulverston banners at the Booths roundabout stating "Various acts of mischief by LoKi".

The CCTV footage is incredibly grainy and it is impossible to see any clear detail but it does at least suggest that if it does depict LoKi at work, then the artist is male.

LoKi’s first work - a six-foot painting of a human skull daubed above a doorway in Brewery Street - appeared in June 2014. More artwork was left around Ulverston throughout the summer.


In September 2015, LoKi left a series of figures at the roundabout and a new set of human-like statues have now been placed at the same site.

Speaking at the time, the artist said: "I'm busy trying to convey through art the unending and fruitless struggle of mankind living in an autonomous democratic society. Busy looking on Google for a cool and witty quote written by someone else to pass off as my own in a vain attempt to seem all arty, deep and mysterious.

"I will leave you with this thought i just had.

"Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place. Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place."
