OVER the past month various pieces of graffiti have appeared across the town since Banksy confirmed he painted the mural on the side of Reading Gaol.
The elusive street artist's work showed a prisoner escaping the prison using a rope of bed sheets tied to a typewriter.
This prompted many to link the image to infamous inmate Oscar Wilde.
Since the artwork appeared, many other pieces have popped up across the town.
Here's a list of the graffiti across Reading.

Bob Ross mural in Caversham
Graffiti in Caversham
On March 26, a painting of what looks like painter Bob Ross appeared on a wall above Boots in Caversham.
Some people think this is in reference to the announcement of the confirmed Banksy artwork on Reading prison.
Banksy uploaded a video of himself creating the prison work to his verified social media page on Instagram seemingly signalling the Reading mural to be his own work.
The video was a take on the 1980s instructional TV show The Joy of Panting with Bob Ross *with Banksy.
