The creator of a Banksy-style artwork has been revealed - and perhaps unsurprisingly it is not the Bristol-based graffiti artist.
A street artist by the moniker Disney appears to be responsible for graffiti that appeared on the side of the old town hall in Droitwich.
A video shared on the artist's Instagram, which has 23,000 followers, shows Disney using a stencil to create the piece.
The black-and-red artwork has been turning heads in the town and shows a child watching a television screen that says “Don’t Think”.
And the artist has revealed the message behind the artwork.
The post is captioned: “The greatest hypnotist on planet Earth is an oblong box in the corner in the room.
“It is constantly telling us what to believe is real
“If you can persuade people that what they see with their eyes is what there is to see, you’ve got them.
“Because they’ll laugh in your face of an explanation.”

The piece was discovered by dogwalker David Giles on Sunday morning (January 15).
"I love it," he said.
"I am a big fan of street art and I was surprised to find it there.
“Hopefully it will stay there for a while so that people can enjoy it.
Banksy is an anonymous artist whose work pops up around the world - with many pieces in Bristol.
Copycat pieces often pop up around the country in Banksy's signature style.
Disney’s artwork has frequently been compared to the legendary street artist.
In November last year, he painted a mural outside Kidderminster Railway Station.
The work depicted a homeless soldier with a sign asking for help.
Disney posted an image of the mural with an article about soldiers being left homeless and suffering from PTSD after military service.
Then in December, a piece appeared on the side of Fightden Boxing Gym just down the road from Crane nightclub where footballer Cody Fisher was stabbed on Boxing Day.
The graffiti displays an emotive image of two boys boxing with the words ‘Knives down, Gloves up’.
Shaun Cogan, from Cogans Corner Boxing Gym which uses Fightden Boxing Gym, posted on Facebook: “This mysteriously turned up on my gym wall last night.
“I’m just round the corner from where a young man lost his life to a knife. Rip Cody.”
