'Banksy' Instagram account offers powerful message of perseverance after Paris attack

A popular Banksy Instagram account weighed in on Wednesday with a powerful homage to the murdered journalists at the French newspaper Charlie Hebdo, victims of a horrific terror attack.

The account, which has nearly one million followers — though it is not known to be an official Banksy Instagram account — posted a picture on featuring three pencils — the pencil fully intact is next to the word "yesterday," a broken pencil represents "today," and the resharpened shard shows there will be two pencils "tomorrow."

It adds: "RIP," joining scores of other cartoonists and artists who have been sharing tributes throughout the day.
