People must be very careful when driving these cars though as the #Swasticars just go far-right all the time, they don't tend to turn left.

#Tesla ensures to put in each ugly car a signed photo of the Gran #fascist #Musk himself doing the Roman salute (cough cough #Nazi salute) and a membership form for the German Nazi party.

These 10 New Murals Are Stopping People in Their Tracks


From Melbourne to Mexico City, street art is reshaping urban spaces with realism and creative storytelling.


A fierce blue-and-orange tiger by Alex Sugar prowls across a wall in Melbourne, its piercing gaze full of intensity. In Glasgow, FROD’s hyperrealistic green Doberman lunges out from graffiti-styled lettering, capturing raw energy. Meanwhile, Luke Cornish’s grayscale astronaut in Canberra looks ready to step off the wall, reflecting the world in its visor.

These murals, along with others from Brazil, Italy, Hong Kong, and beyond, showcase the power of public art. Here are some of the most striking murals I found this week!

This fierce tiger mural by Alex Sugar dominates the street with its vivid colors and dynamic energy.

About: Banksy’s New Street Art in London: Unmasking the Zoo of Modern Society (9 Photos)About: 3D Pearls on the Deptford landmark in London, UK

London, England


London leads the rankings as the world’s best city for street art, with 472 documented murals and a rich history of urban art across Camden, Shoreditch, and Brick Lane. A new Banksy piece appeared in March 2024, adding to the city’s growing collection.

  • 639,000 Instagram posts about London graffiti
  • 3,764 TikTok posts using #londongraffiti
  • 84,300 Google searches for London street art in 2024
  • London saw a 19% increase in searches related to graffiti and murals

The findings reflect a growing public interest in street art, with cities investing more in legal mural spaces, guided tours, and cultural events centered around urban art.


While some argue that mainstream recognition dilutes graffiti’s rebellious roots, others see it as a way to preserve and promote an art form that has long been dismissed as mere vandalism.

The rankings also raise questions about gentrification, as neighborhoods once defined by their underground art scenes become curated tourist attractions. Rising property values often follow increased interest in street art, attracting developers and wealthier residents while pushing out the original communities that helped foster these creative spaces. As murals draw in visitors and businesses capitalize on the area’s newfound appeal, the very people who contributed to its artistic identity are often priced out. Who truly benefits from street art’s growing popularity?

In the end, the debate over street art’s role in urban life continues—but one thing is clear: it’s not going anywhere.

the masked face comes across as radical, but it's not a radical demand at all. You want people to think of their mother, daughter or sister, instead of some hooded protesting punk that's easy to ignore.
