Yeah we had some legend turn one of our sewage aeration pipe outlets into a Mario flower, whole city went nuts over it.
Removed within 48hrs because it “wasn’t authorized”
Fucking joke.
Should have painted cocks on it in retribution.
Good idea, I’ll go past Bunnings on the weekend ;)
Honestly top is fucking awesome to look at.
Yep, I would have been honored to have that on the exterior of my business 😌
I guarantee some Karen complained about the sexy Alice and that’s why it was removed
So are cocks, though.
I don’t care for sexualized depictions of Alice, considering the original character was seven years old, but the other ⅔ of it is pretty cool.
Whats interesting is that most people would consider the original to be art, and most people would consider just the cocks to not be art, but are the cocks with the statement of intent art or naw? If just the cocks are not art, and the cocks with the statement are, then do the cocks become art if the artist knows about the art that used to be there? Do they become art if the viewer knows about the cocks and infers the missing statement? That’s the interesting question here, because it implies that the piece can be art to one person who knows the context and not art to another person who is only aware of the cocks.

This is just as modern art works today.
The funny thing is that it all began as a revolt against old art for being too elitist, but now regular folks cannot enjoy todays art because they are esthetically awful and would need a full book collection to understand why that piece of rotten banana is art, so just the elite can enjoy it. The rest just pretend to look fancy
It’s the Duchamp problem. He said “You guys are so far up your own asses that you’ll piss in a urinal if it’s in the bathroom but you’ll praise me as a genius if I move that same urinal to the gallery” and the art world was like “Joke’s on you, fucker, I’ll start the bidding at $1.2 million for the pisser!”
My highschool did something like this. There was a massive memorial dedicated to a African charity event we did. New headmaster came and the fucker god rid of it.
Skinneeeeer!
Banksy’s getting a bit more on the nose.
I wouldn’t want the leftmost painted on the side of my house, the rest are okay tho
Would you prefer cocks?
tbh yeah
It’s easier to explain to people than why I have some kinky sex game character painted there.
It’s Alice in wonderland
Alice is seven years old, dude.
Depends on the adaptation, in the Burton movie she’s 19
I don’t think Alice’s heaving breasts and skin tight clothes are canon…
explain to people
Which people?
The other people in the world??
The fuck kinda question is that?
All due respect, if I saw that painting on the side of a house, or even a painting I don’t like come to that, I am not looking for an explanation.
Okay…
I don’t know what to tell you, everyone I speak to who’s seen it would get an explanation that I hadn’t paid for a kinky childhood character to be painted on the side of my house and I don’t want it there…
Especially since Alice was 7.
She’s clearly not here
which one of the 5 gazillion versions of the story? Pretty sure she isn’t seven in the tim burton version…
Oh, I don’t know, maybe the Disney version which she is dressed the same as. Very similar design. Context clues and all.
Where’s the street sign in the top one?
Two options
-
The extreme angle difference and/or focal length difference in the cameras pushes it out of frame from the photographer’s perspective.
-
Some chucklefuck stole it.
- photoshop
-
metaphor for internet
Clearly not even the same wall.
The pipes on the wall are in exactly the same place on both pictures.
Yeah i think it is picture with the nicer grafiti is just taken much closer you see the bor holding up the corugated steel roof on the right and the part that sticks out on the left.
