Apple's late founder Steve Jobs is being remembered in a new way.

A drawing of Jobs, created by the graffiti artist Banksy, is in the so-called "Jungle" refugee camp in Calais, France.

The painting aims to show that Jobs was the son of a migrant from Syria. Banksy hopes his work brings attention to the benefits of migration.

About 7,000 refugees live in the camp on France's northern coast.
