Little Bleeder Darian has sent in photos of this piece of commissioned The Avengers graffiti artwork, which is currently being created on a billboard in a certain London location. Readers in the capital, feel free to go out hunting for it. We won't give you a prize if you find it before it's finished, but I like to think you'll feel a sense of personal fulfilment.

We don't yet have the name of the artist responsible, but this is a pretty brilliant promotional technique, especially for a comic-based movie. The Avengers (or Avengers Assemble as it's called here in the UK) will be on general release from 26th April, and if this artwork hasn't whetted your appetite enough, perhaps you should check out the Bleeding Cool review from Michael Moran.

UPDATE

Disney have just sent through this press release. The name of the artist is Alex Young AKA 'Odisy', and you can now vote on Twitter for which character artwork you'd like to see created first.
