Three Words: Break Dancing Jesus
A giant mural depicting a breakdancing Jesus has been unveiled on a wall in Bristol.
The work, by Cosmo Sarson, is sited on an 8.5m (28ft) wall opposite Banksy's Mild Mild West in Stokes Croft.
Inspired by an event in the Vatican in 2004 which saw breakdancers perform for Pope John Paul II, the work took a week to complete and contains over 1kg (2.5lbs) of gold glitter.
"It was quite an epic thing but I think I've pulled it off," said Mr Sarson.
The artist was commissioned by the Canteen diner to paint the wall, which is directly opposite Banksy's depiction of comic policemen and a bear.
