A Banksy-inspired artwork has been updated to include extra balloons, a cat and a dog.

The wall art in Three Kings Yard alleyway in Sandwich appeared in December but the girl had a Christmas hat on and just one red balloon.

Now, the girl has her hair in a pony tail, three balloons, and a cat and a dog at her feet.

Sharon Mundie, a Sandwich resident, spotted the updated piece this week and says addition of the animals is great and could suggest the work is by a local artist.

"Sandwich is very dog friendly and there is a well-known local cat that occupies the area where the piece is," she said.

"The artist could be local to the area, but who knows.

"I like it, especially the addition of the animals and I wonder if it will evolve further.

"It would be great if it brings visitors to the area but I also wonder what the owners of the house think about it."

This comes after a confirmed Banksy original appeared in Margate earlier this week.

The new piece shows a woman in 50s-era dress, complete with kitchen apron and rubber gloves, smiling and winking.

Sticking out from a fridge-freezer – which was believed to have been placed against the wall purposely – are a what show a man's pair of legs, suggesting he has been dumped there by his wife.

But, the freezer has since been removed and taken into storage and the artwork is set to be cut from the wall of the house it sits on to be displayed at Dreamland, it was confirmed yesterday.
