More 'Matey' graffiti caught on camera - just who is this mysterious street artist?

MORE handiwork of the mysterious Banksy copycat street artist 'Matey' has been spotted by eagle-eyed readers.
Humorous or unusual spray-painted stencil murals have appeared across the borough that mimic the style of the infamous West Country graffiti artist who has never revealed his identity.
Among the largely black and white images are a policeman with a pigeon on his cap in an alleyway between Station Road, Harrow, and Greenhill Way Car Park, a turtle on a telephone cable exchange at Shaftesbury Circle, West Harrow, and a cat holding a paint brush on the outside of AVS Ltd in Roxeth Green Avenue, South Harrow.
This week, Jane Prince, of Porlock Avenue, West Harrow, found a pigeon dressed as a painter and decorator.
She said: "I spotted this on a grit container on the corner of Porlock Avenue and Whitmore Road at the beginning of the week.
"I adore Banksy's work, especially his sense of humour and, although I don't approve of the general graffiti tagging, things like this do make me smile."
