'It's not Banksy's, it's mine': artist says tribute to adulterer is a copy

It began as a story about a mysterious plaque on a Bristol bench - but the tale of a tribute to a deceased adulterer is now raising questions about copyright and who gets credit for creativity in the art world.

Photos of the brass memorial to a supposedly deceased adulterer called Roger went viral last week after it was attached to a wooden bench on Royal York Crescent in Clifton.

It remains unknown who put up the Bristol plaque commemorating the "husband, father, adulterer" - which included the payoff line "Roger, I knew". But while some speculated Banksy may have been involved, another artist has now suggested they are the victim of a rip-off.
