The "No more blank walls" mural festival ran from April 10th to the 18th, when 10 artists painted murals across various walls in South Perth.

Jose and I attended the inauguration community event at the "Village Green Shopping Centre" in Karawara (suburb next to South Perth) on Sunday 12th, at the invitation of Dr S, whose son in law is Jerome Davenport aka Ketones 6000, one of the curators and creative team behind "No more blank walls".

On the 16th I went to the dentist and took a detour to visit a couple of the murals in progress, and found this one which was totally finished. I didn't get to see the artist - Dutch born, Perth resident, Amok Island, as the mural was already getting a protective coat being applied by someone else.

From the artist's website:

"In March 2026, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority enacted a nationwide restriction on popular over the counter rat poisons, to protect native wildlife from secondary poisoning.

Studies revealed high levels of second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) in native predators; for example over 70% of boobook owls and 80% of powerful owls in certain areas were found to have ingested SGARs; a single dose can kill a rodent and remain in their system for months, and when owls, eagles and quolls eat the dying rodents they are poisoned.
