I like murals, in saying that how would they keep a small town alive?

and murals are universally shit

Just beautiful 😍 One day I'll do a road trip to see these wonderful artworks

It's great to see attractive art being put on display and not contemporary rubbish

Love murals. The cover ugl walls, brighten dull spaces and often tell a story.
