Monday Mural - Electrical boxes in Bunbury

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  Thanks, Sami.

These electrical boxes were all over the city of Bunbury, (south west of Perth) when we visited in November 2020.

Could only recognize the style of the first two boxes, which were done by Hayley Welsh, a UK born artist who lives in Perth.

  25. I forgot I was hosting Second on the 2nd, so wasn't able to play this week. However, I will be back next week. It appears we have some of those utility boxes at Wichita State. Some artists were given permission to paint them as part of a class (I think that's what I read in my alumni magazine). However, although I haven't seen any, I doubt they are as clever and unique as some you found. Too bad some of them have been tagged with graffiti, something I'm sure won't happen on campus.
