Street artist’s crusade to get us rubbered-up

-

A GRAFFITI artist is on a mission to spray paint a condom over all the COCK ’ N’ BALLS drawings on London’s streets.

A 28- year- old man, who – like Banksy – keeps his true identity hidden, launched the Protect City Cocks project after noticing the “senseless vandalism” of knobs on walls around the capital.

When he sees one he spray paints a condom over it along with the slogan “Stay protected on the go” and a website address to the NHS Shine service – a sexual health programme where people can get free nodders.

The artist said: “One night I did some research on STI rates and the idea just came to me to make stencils of a condom and a link where people can get free ones.

“Instead of just having senseless vandalism, we can inform people about an important issue – and give them a laugh at the same time.”
