The Post said: "God Bless Birmingham. In the 20 Minutes we filmed Ryan on this bench passers-by gave him a hot drink, two chocolate bars and a lighter - Without him ever asking for anything. "
Pete Smith 's jewellery studio and workshop Vault 88 is located on Vyse Street, opposite the artwork.
He saw it when he arrived for work on Friday and said it had been attracting a lot of attention since the Instagram post.

Luke Crane from the Jewellery Quarter Business Improvement District said it was now a priority to protect the artwork.
"We are very keen to make sure it is a part of our community and not something that is taken away," he said.
"I think It Comes at a great time of Year - we obviously didn't know it was coming, but what a great time.
"And it's obviously about giving at a time of need for the homelessness that we have in these areas, and it's something that we've been working in partnership with The Council and other organisations to try and tackle, so it's great to see it in our area. "
