Honestly top is fucking awesome to look at.
I guarantee some Karen complained about the sexy Alice and that’s why it was removed
Notice the “For Lease” sign in the bottom picture. Probably what happened was the tenant who had commissioned the artwork moved out.
I saw something similar to this happen in my hometown. An artist collective had a space they were renting, and they had painted a huge mural on the wall outside. When they moved, a church took over the space, and they painted over the mural.
Well duh, Jesus hates colors.
It would have still been awesome with Alice being overtly sexual tbf. But then again people will always find something to complain about.
Well Alice was a 7-year-old, so yeah, that’s pretty gross.
Yep, I would have been honored to have that on the exterior of my business 😌
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.
Petition to normalize painting vulvas on walls by learning to draw a vulva and putting it on walls.
In my neighborhood for a while someone (probably a group of people) were sticking vulva drawings everywhere. Building walls, lamp post, mail box, etc. They were all unique and hand drawn too.
That artwork is incredible…
And incredibly arousing.
Especially the eyes

Already a regular occurrence in Finland.
My home town in Sweden has started commissioning artists to paint murals like those in the top image on a lot of otherwise boring and ugly buildings, and I couldn’t be more proud. Really makes the town beautiful and unique.
One major reason cities do this is because most fellow spray can wielders will respect the existing work, thus resulting in a nicely painted instead of randomly tagged building.
I really detest dumbasses that put their stupid ass tag on legitimately good art. Nothing screams “desperate, talent-less hack” louder.
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.
It’s BS. They converted several city owned buildings in the last city I lived in to open face “mural invites.” Best thing ever. Every city should try it. Beautiful art all over.
My city has a huge bridge which is designated as graffiti area. Government even gives them paint sometimes. We use to have yearly competitions on it. These days every now and then new work shows up, but it’s mostly inactive. That said, people are still allowed to paint there. It looks great what otherwise would be boring gray slab of concrete.
I want this to be the standard, I love seeing artsy kids/teens making murals instead of shitty tags everywhere.
Should have painted cocks on it in retribution.
Good idea, I’ll go past Bunnings on the weekend ;)
That was actually cool art too, not those shitty tags with letters you can’t even read
I wouldn’t want the leftmost painted on the side of my house, the rest are okay tho

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
I don’t think Alice’s heaving breasts and skin tight clothes are canon…
Alice is seven years old, dude.
Depends on the adaptation, in the Burton movie she’s 19
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…
Ahhh, I understand. It’s your choice to have whatever you want on your home.
The Mad Hatter with his dick out would be pretty hilarious, honestly.

Especially since Alice was 7.
She’s clearly not here
Drawing a child character as a sexualized adult is weird and I wouldn’t want it on my streets
I think it’s pretty harmless in this case. There are plenty of renditions of the Alice story with an older Alice and the story in general has become pretty synonymous with other adult topics (for example the general psychedelic aesthetic) that I don’t really connect it with the original character much.
But I can see how some other people might see it differently, so I guess it’s a fair call to not want it publicly shown.
even if she’s 18 I wouldn’t wanna see that shit it’s just kinda trashy
That’s just subjective. I quite like the whole wall way better how it was than blank.
as opposed to cocks
Do you even know the canon age of those cocks!?! :D
Those might be the cocks of children, the cocks of men with severe mental disabilities unable to consent, or the cocks of the most hated warlords and dictators in the history. You’re displaying them for the world, you monster!
Oh … so definitely not each their own sentient entity walking, waddling, and bouncing around exploring the world?
Look at them little cocks go, so bravely venturing into the unknown …
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.

I would only have the leftmost … the Goofy-Blinky hybrid with a chain kink is just weird/too random to make much sense (or probably it’s just me not getting something)
Funny? More like sad.
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.
“Art is art because is is art and not because we say that it is art.” - Hoid, Words of Radiance, Brandon Sanderson
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!”
Top left has some crazy pelvic anatomy.
It’s literally on shrooms
Also what’s going on with the dress, is there wind from below?
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.
This is true every time there’s a change of hands of power. The new leader busy assert themselves about their role, and reorganize a system, even if it’s perfectly functional. What is good must go, for the zealot has need of your suffering.
Skinneeeeer!

Still not used to a community called “funny” actually being funny. Lemmy is weird.
From someone who draws comics, general comedy\humor is quite difficult to make for the general audience. Different people find different things funny all around the world. To “hit one out of the park” is rare. And funny-all-the-time is virtually impossible. A universal oddity. 👍
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.
You can see by the sidewalk lines the the angle is pretty drastically different. That plus a differing focal length would explain it, as well as the dramatically different visual size of the wall.
- photoshop

Probably want there but if you zoom in you can see the pipes as well as the crack on the sidewalk line up.
Fuck the buff, but also god bless. Fresh wall to paint
