This is a set of 10. They belong together and I can’t split them up 
This is what you can achieve when you have a community working together as a collective.
These are created out of plastic lids to teach about Environmental issues, recycling, waste and pollinators. You enable involvement through a social project. And produce works of art that enhance the environment.
For people that say they have nothing to submit. Try being active in your community find your project to bring the community together, and make everyone’s life’s richer. Oh and get some wayspots as well

Mine has to be this one:
Fauna Graphic has done several beautiful fauna & flora themed murals in Sheffield. This one is on the backs of garages that would otherwise stick out like a sore thumb as an ugly gray facade against the grass and trees facing onto the bypass.

So lovely! We have a project in my city that does exactly that, however since last fall a bunch of the murals have been vandalized saying “f* street art” so they have stopped adding new ones

I think these ugly grey boxes that litter the urban landscape look so much better with murals. I can’t (don’t want to) understand why anyone would hate the street art.
The city started doing these specifically because transformer boxes and other utility buildings are popular among graffiti artists. They were spending a lot of money each year to cover up illegal graffiti. This worked really well for the first couple of years, but out mayor has begun an all-out war on graffiti (there’s a 5000€ reward for people who help expose graffiti artists that frequently vandalize public buildings, especially protected historic houses). So I think graffiti artists see these as encroaching on their territory and suppressing their outlets for artistic expression and promote gentrification I think. There are a couple of areas where people allowed to legally do graffiti but not enough. I really wish they wouldn’t destroy the murals though, usually the graffiti community only covers other pieces if whatever they’re attempting to do will be better that what is currently there, but nothing they’re putting on top of the pretty murals is actually well done (and even then it’s mean)
These are my absolute favourites at the moment and I’ve loved getting them as postcards to pin 
they appear to sparkle

Ah, thanks for the insight. That actually makes sense to me. The graffiti artists are probably correct as it is promoting gentrification, but destroying them just adds more negativity. It’s saying to say they could go and graffiti on some other surface - there’s always random surfaces that aren’t of any value to anyone.
These are so cool! They remind me of this one I submitted, created from repurposed plastic bread tags over an old street sign.
Our local Greenway has a section lined with these old street signs that they had various artists reimagine as mini-murals. Here is another one that is a favorite of mine–it actually has multiple “panels” across a few repurposed signs, but I had the main photo focus on one panel that had the name of the piece + the artist name below it (with the other two panels in a separate photo I added later).

It’s so hard to narrow down a favorite! I do like this one, though, the first of many murals a friend and I submitted on their unveiling dates for a county’s mural festival.
This mural festival was great fun for everyone, and took place in 9 fairly rural villages. A video of the overall project is here if you’d like to see ‘em all and learn about the project!

I love murals. Sadly, British reviewers in my experience do not like them, and I always have to appeal.
The 3 Bs is my favourite that I have submitted, but I found the other 2 on a recent trip to Scotland and thought they were both really cool

I very rarely need to appeal a mural, But then we are not very keen on indoor stuff. 
Mine are nearly all outside.

I love the idea of bad tags. I will see if plastic shed will accept them.

Oh yeahI should have specified
Indoor murals: bad - must reject
Outdoor murals: easy accept

Well I think that most of the ones getting destroyed have little to do with gentrification, the example I posted is by a solar energy field (not sure what the actual term for that is) where no one actually lived before. The issue is definitely complicated especially since I really appreciate graffiti as a form of artistic expression, but I think actual pieces look much nicer than just tagging over nice murals
So weird that that last one was rejected, art can be subjective but that one is also like a creative info sign basically! And people love info signs!

Another mural that I can add 
It was created in 2024 and doesn’t just include the wall but also the pillars in front of the mural which really makes it pop! The blue dots are meant to look like a halftone print since this building used to be part of a printing house

Probably my favorite just photo update. It’s in Downtown Tucson, AZ called “Forget Me Not”
Where I live in Boise, Idaho we have a exceptionally talented artist collective called Sector_Seventeen that does Murals all over. Love following them on Instagram and getting there as they are finishing new murals. “Rust Never Sleeps” is what this one is called.

I too would follow them around
