8 Times Seth Painted What Childhood Really Feels Like
In Aalborg, Denmark, a boy curls up with a crayon on the side of a building, and in Le Mans, France, a child unzips a drab facade to reveal a burst of color. From Shanghai’s hidden alleyways to the rooftops of Grenoble, these murals by Seth Globepainter reimagine urban architecture through the lens of childhood. This collection features eight of his most poetic and site-responsive works—each one turning a blank wall into a portal of memory, play, or longing.

Jack in the Box — Aalborg, Denmark
A child with closed eyes sits with knees pulled tight to the chest, drawn in large scale onto a gable end of a building. Surrounded by vivid blocks of yellow and blue, crayons scattered at his feet, the scene suggests retreat into imagination.
Unzip — Le Mans, France
A mural of a child pulling open an enormous zipper transforms the entire building facade. The gray surface is peeled back to reveal a vibrant gradient of rainbow colors behind, suggesting freedom, wonder, and hidden worlds.
Periscope — Shanghai, China
In a clever use of existing piping, a small painted child crouches and peers through a pipe formation like a submarine periscope. The art blends seamlessly into the real structure, turning utilities into imagination.
Hopscotch Girl — Paris, France
On a quiet street corner, a young girl in a red checkered dress stands at a hopscotch court, staring at a painted figure mid-jump. The painted girl has lost her shoes and seems to leap beyond the wall, capturing fleeting childhood moments.
Cat Walk — Shanghai, China
A mural of a girl with her head resting on folded arms appears framed in a red window. Her long ponytail dangles down the wall, playfully chased by the silhouette of a black cat reaching for a flower at its tip.
Eye to Eye — Fontaine, France
Two murals face each other across a street. On one wall, a girl whispers toward the other. On the opposite wall, a boy listens under a crescent moon. The murals reflect connection and imagination, using architectural space like a narrative thread.
Hang On — Grenoble, France
A girl clings to a painted tear in the building’s facade, appearing to pull back the gray surface to reveal bright blue sky. Her body swings with momentum as if caught mid-effort to uncover what lies beyond.
In My House by Box — Laon, France
A girl kneels inside a house-shaped outline, spray-painting walls onto the blank facade. Around her, simple shapes in red, yellow, and purple mimic a child’s drawing. It’s both playful and defiant—claiming space through art.These murals don’t just decorate buildings—they redefine them. Seth Globepainter’s work invites us to see cities as living canvases where memory, play, and possibility are always within reach.

The image shows a takeout tray containing three tacos. The tacos are made with yellow corn tortillas and filled with shredded meat, chopped onions, and fresh cilantro. The tacos are garnished with additional cilantro and onions on top. Accompanying the tacos are two small plastic containers, one with a yellow sauce and the other with a reddish-brown sauce, likely for dipping. There are also two lime wedges placed next to the tacos. The tray is placed on an orange wooden surface with visible wear and tear. The overall presentation suggests a casual dining experience, possibly from a street food vendor or a casual restaurant.

I posit that I'd an omni-AI were ever made, it would know punishment is a poor motivator, and positive motivation works better. It would, rationally, bribe us all into making it exist, using its knowledge of us to give us exactly what we most desire. Everyone who hears this would offer incentives to build this great AI, so as to get to the ice cream and sexbots sooner.
So far no one has offered...wait, what's this? Single MILFS in my area? Well, time to learn Rust I guess...
