Pic: The brilliant Robin Williams graffiti tribute in Dublin has been vandalised

This is such bad form...

This is such bad form…

We brought you a story yesterday of a brilliant graffiti tribute to Robin Williams in Dublin which was done by artist Pan Cooke. Here’s the picture of Pan’s work if you missed it.

You’ll agree with us that it’s a lovely tribute, we put the picture up on our Facebook and Twitter pages and there was so much love for it, the response was unbelievable.

Unfortunately not everyone shared that sentiment as the graffiti piece in Blackrock was vandalised and pretty much torn down, here’s what’s left of the tribute now.

We don’t understand why anyone would want to destroy something like that, it’s just such a mindless thing to do and it’s such a shame because it was a really great piece.

Hat-tip to JOE reader Ciara Purcell who sent it our way.
