Paul Walsh a well known street artist around Auckland's Mt Eden, has painted this fitting tribute to "his childhood hero" who inspired him to draw his own comics when he was young.  Painted on the night he heard of Murray Ball's death, Dog's image looking up at a star is painted onto the water reservoir on top of Three Kings.  While painted without permission, after thousands of complimentary responses, Watercare has decided to keep the work - for now.  (source: NZ Herald)
