This graffiti artist made the most of Christmas Day by covering the shutters of Bright News in Buckingham Road, Brighton, in a blue paint base layer and a robot picture.

Operating under the pseudonym of Snub 23, he said he has been covering the front of the shop (with the owner's permission) for four years.

He said: "The blue layer stops people tagging it or at least means I can see when people do.

"I also paint the electricity boxes."

Snub 23 spent the rest of the day finishing his spray art before heading to a pub lock-in.
