AN ARTIST has covered lamposts, phone boxes and bus stops in Camden Town with posters appealing for the return of a lost backpack which contained “irreplaceable” sketches and notebooks.

His appeal says that the bag, which was full of artworks that he had worked on for the last few years, was left outside the Camden Eye in Kentish Town Road on Saturday night (16 August).

The 27-year-old animator, who works in King's Cross said: “There are really valuable sketches in there, its a project I started in my childhood.”

The bag contains designs and storyboards for an animated movie, which he described as a “dark fairytale.”

He added: “I went back to Madrid two years ago and closed myself in a room and just focused on my work. Then I came back to London a couple of weeks ago and now its gone.”

Anyone with any information is asked to call Xabi Mendoza on 07544534434.
