A bright blue octopus painted around a short street bollard in Limerick, Ireland, by Lumen Street Theatre. The cylindrical bollard forms the octopus’s head, complete with two cartoon-style yellow eyes and curved blue lines suggesting texture. The animal’s eight tentacles stretch out across the pavement in flowing pink-and-blue patterns, creating a playful illusion that the creature is spreading across the sidewalk and into the street. The artwork transforms an ordinary bollard into a lively marine character that appears to interact with the urban environment. f8aa5df3a396fd4d.jpg A split image of the Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow, Scotland, featuring a new intervention by street artist The Rebel Bear. On the left, the full equestrian statue is shown outside the Gallery of Modern Art, with a sculpted oversized pigeon perched on the Duke’s head, holding a folded newspaper in its wings. On the right, a close-up reveals the pigeon wearing a tiny traffic cone while reading a miniature “Daily Dribble” paper, replacing the statue’s famous full-sized cone. The playful artwork adds a humorous twist to the iconic landmark. cf3c772af639ac52.jpg c22e0b925a4c7cec.jpg A handwritten poster on a textured green wall reads: “Everything that makes this life beautiful is being destroyed by rich people.” The text is written in uneven, expressive black letters, accompanied by a green and black butterfly illustration. The poster is taped or pasted to a lime-to-olive gradient background with faint graffiti marks and weathered paint, evoking a raw urban aesthetic and environmental message. 1315735f79f7e79f.jpg A stencil mural on a red brick wall in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. The artwork features a bold yellow background divided into two sections. The top shows a single large black fish surrounded by smaller fish scattered in disarray, with the text "DO NOT PANIC." The bottom section illustrates the smaller fish united to form a larger, powerful fish, swimming together to face the bigger fish, accompanied by the text "ORGANIZE." The piece delivers a powerful social message of unity and collective strength against challenges. A black fence runs along the bottom edge of the mural. da70530b435cf683.webp Street art mural depicting R2-D2, the iconic Star Wars droid, offering a bouquet of flowers to a trash can painted to resemble a companion. A small red heart hovers above R2-D2, adding a touch of charm and humor to the piece. The artwork, set against an urban wall, playfully reimagines the characters in a heartwarming scene that brings personality and affection to inanimate objects. 600f8f9c8f3aa8e2.jpg In a street, a large advertising board with a face of somebody that could be Elon musk, masked by adhesive tape. And on the right, written in block letters, Elon Musk SHUT THE FUCK UP 5ccbcdedc69c6461.jpg A roadside sign in front of a small building displays the message: 'Live so that if your life was a book, Florida would ban it.' This humorous and provocative statement refers to recent book bans in Florida, where certain books and topics have been restricted in schools and libraries due to their content. The sign encourages viewers to live boldly and embrace individuality, subtly critiquing censorship and advocating for freedom of expression. The setting includes a quaint building with a red awning and a quiet, tree-lined street in the background, adding a touch of small-town charm to the message. e4048a609035db96.jpg 782d6867735041b7.jpeg
