Mr Andrigo, a curator of caffeine and cuppas, rather than arts and crafts, served up his critique of the work.
“I’m very, very happy, it’s fantastic,” he said.

“It’s spot on actually, it’s like the Sistine Chapel.”
With no name or number left behind, Mr Andrigo wants to get in touch with the artist.
“Please come in,” he said.
“I’ll give you a coffee and shake your hand and you can show me how to draw.”
He wants to keep artwork and stick to the ceiling inside his cafe like Michelangelo’s fresco work in the Sistine Chapel.
