German street artist HOMBRE (Hombre Suk) created a mural in Leicester for "Bring the Paint" in 2019. HOMBRE has been painting grafitti in cartoon style illustrations from the 1990s. The artwork in Leicester is located on Belgrave Gate, a major road on the edge of the centre of the city. The shows a man with a red beard, gold chain necklace, and pale blue hat holding a box of spray paints and a spray paint cap. The artwork covers the front of a whole building.
Another mural by the artist has been created a few streets away on the lower part of a building. It feature's the artist's name and a cartoon character of a man with a red beard.
I discovered the artwork in the summer of 2021, and it seems to be in decent shape and is certainly an eye-catching piece at the edge of a small cluster of street art and opposite a church.
