#murals
Hey so I appreciate the notes and reblogs on my home murals, and I see a lot of notes about how folks would like to do the same to their own living spaces. I know that landlords can be really restrictive, but on the off chance that some of you might be allowed to paint your walls, would anyone be interested in tutorials?
I may also be able to troubleshoot alternatives that technically fall under rental rules, like tapestry panels or canvases. I am usually pretty good at finding the cheapest option and making it look expensive!
(As a side note, I think it’s dumb if a landlord prohibits painting, because it is literally so easy to paint over it. Painting causes no damage.)
Wallpaper of the Week #18
When you finally sit down and start taking previews, things get uploaded.
This week I have for you some matching shingle and foundation sidings. Along with some 4-tile murals from Ted Baker.
Week 18 Folder. (So you can pick and choose, or download the whole works in one .rar.)
Beautiful!

At the Museo Nacional de Antropología in CDMX there’s this beautiful mural of ethnic women harnessing their spiritual powers and I fell in love with it bc how often do you see art dedicated purely to women of coleur I think it’s gorgeous
El mural “Las razas y la cultura” fue un encargo especial concluido en 1964 por Jorge González Camarena. El mural muestra dos partes, una superior que está dedicada a las razas y la inferior a la cultura. Aquella parte superior muestra a 14 diosas que representan las razas del mundo, podemos ver sus rostros y atuendos coloreados en colores diversos, muestran además las palmas de sus manos, sus vestidos dirigen la vista al centro de la obra donde se presenta a la protagonista entre las diosas, es dorada, la raza del futuro, que es todas y a la vez ninguna, es otra, quizá conformada por ellas.
This is a mural in Austin that someone vandalized either way still a nice message

And the “young artiste”’s response to their response:
As a creature of habit who hates change (and who loved the original mural), this hurt my heart a little to see. But I really do love the entire interaction because it showcases how beautifully kind and weird Austinites are! ❤️ Bless everything about this.
