    My favourite art style is “fucked murals on sound fences” and I’m not even kidding. I want every example of them heritage listed.

    The best part is these are WAY better paintings of humans than I could ever manage, but they’re just off enough to become nightmares.

  2. When I was a teenager this wall had my friends face painted in it cause she won the patent at strawberry festival

    Their used to be a real weird looking kid on there years ago who had what looked like a moustache. Just Bayside things.

  4. These poor kids won a competition to have their faces painted on the mural.

    Supposedly, work for the dole started it, but the paint they were using was toxic or it reacted with the stuff in the wood and made people sick, so the project was stopped.

    Years later it was started up again, resulting in the magnificent artwork we see today.

    It recently was announced that it would be taken down/painted over.

    Mate you didn’t even get a photo of baby Adolf there.
    People used to graffiti moustaches on him weekly.

    Yaknow when you’re working on a drawing at an angle and it looks fine until you actually look at the head-on? Yeah. That has to be what happened here.

    Looks like two people painted together, different art styles. I’ll give you a better answer when I ask them later, I’m sure they’ll haunt my dreams tonight.

    😂 I always thought of it as a contraceptive reminder. There was one in the series that looked like hitler.

    The baby wearing speed dealers on the Deagon dev overpass is a solid fave of mine 😂

  10. The fence of lost souls. My one rule when we moved bayside was that we could get to the house without driving past them.

    There is a real messed up baby face on that stretch, hopefully it’s not based on a real person 😳

  12. Because they repainted it a few years back and just went over the existing people that were on there. Is the weird looking baby still there?

  13. I went to high school with one of the people in that mural! So weird to think they would have to drive past their own face

    In this particular picture, it’s called perspective. The closer things are to you the bigger they look. The big head is closer, you can’t see their arms in the frame.
