Last weekend, the elusive artist Banksy caused a stir in the art world by shredding one of his paintings that had just been sold for more than £1 million.
It proved to be a gigantic story and has already been viewed more than 11 million times on Banksy's Instagram account.
Although he has already revealed how he pulled the stunt off, it hasn't stopped people being fascinated with the incident and have started to create their own versions.
These range from shredding potatoes, flags, money, other famous paintings, and even Brett Kavanaugh.
So I heard this happened today, right in front of a shocked audience. (Artist unknown) https://t.co/YnfpplY8cq— Jay Kuo (@Jay Kuo) 1538862518

Someone has even made their own miniature version.
This one is easily the most powerful.
