A GRAFFITI artist has taken a magical approach to brightening up a derelict pub in Hereford.

This Banksy-inspired image of Alice in Wonderland appeared on the Sportsman Inn on Widemarsh Common last week.

Banksy, the anonymous Bristol artist famed for his stencils, is probably not responsible for this curtainraising effort on a whitewashed wall.

But the effort is well-timed as he could win an Oscar on Sunday for his Exit Through the Gift Shop documentary.
