Healthy graffiti?

I know I seem to be posting about graffiti a lot recently but one underpass in particular seems to have become a canvas for some quite artistic works. This recent offering is not only attractive and nicely painted but even seems to be promoting a healthy message. Whatever next? All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2021.

As today is "vegan day" this graffiti seems particularly appropriate.

@Fleura That is what popped up on my computer. I do not know who decide those ridiculous "National Days".

@LadyDuck I guess there must be some channel through which people can make suggestions or campaign for their chosen topic. Maybe we could ask for a 'MyLot day' or an 'online friends day'!

At least it's interesting... They could be painting big winkies and whoo whoos up there.

@Fleura I don't understand why people put winkies and whoo whoos up like that anyway... It just looks stupid.

That's the sort of thing we've come to expect. It's nice to have something worth seeing.

I've seen some pro-social graffiti. Sometimes, those with social justice and/or environmentalist messages seek to spread their messages through non-mainstream channels, because the mainstream channels are seen as part of the problem. Or, it could be that this was a response to anti-social graffiti. That this positive message was painted over a negative one.

It could be, I can't remember what was there before. This particular underpass has become a 'canvas' for some quite artistic works recently, and they seem to change quite frequently.

I love looking at graffities also because the artwork can soothe one's being. The artists express their emotions in these wall paintings and more often than not, depict the sentiments of the people in the community.

@Fleura Neither do I look at filthy graffiti. Makes the community look dirty. I love wall art.

That's true, although it's far more common to get graffiti which is just scribbled 'tags' or rude words. It's nice to see something a bit more inspiring!

@fleura Attractive and wholesome and refreshing. A cut above the usual, and certainly more edifying than the unattractive bare buttocks of teenagers who elect to moon along a stretch of railway line I have been transported along.

A shame you can't target them with spray paint as you pass by!

That's quite beautiful actually. Yes, it's graffiti but still.

Definitely, it makes it interesting to go that way and see what has appeared next!
