And finally... street scenes

An Oxfordshire artist has shared videos of herself painting construction workers outside her house.

A 20-year-old artist from Didcot, who goes by the name Tanks, has been painting construction workers for over a year.

Her TikTok has hundreds of videos of her work including many of construction workers.

A recent video of a painting of workers putting speed bumps down outside her house has reached over 10 million views.



The post received over 2 million likes and was commented on by thousands.

Speaking to the Oxford Mail, she said: “I was so excited [to see the video go viral].

“I’d never had that much traction to my work before and it was honestly mindblowing that so many people all over the world had seen my little paintings.

“I’ve had a fascination with drawing and painting builders and construction sites for a long time now.



“It started on my art foundation year at Abingdon and Witney College when they were building outside the art block.

“I got in a lot of trouble for drawing them instead of doing the work I’d been set but they caught my eye and I have always loved the work of Van Gogh and Millet’s worker paintings in the fields.”
