New murals reflecting artists' concerns over the coronavirus pandemic are appearing throughout the world. I find the creativity of these artists just amazing -- the vision of the photographers is also impressive. A number of collections of these mural photos, or stories about particular murals, have featured in many news articles.
Here are links to a few more news articles about murals in a number of places:
- "New coronavirus-inspired art, murals dot Houston's landscape" (link)
- "Mural dedicated to frontline health care workers pops up on Colfax" in Denver (link)
- "Coronavirus inspired honey bear murals pop up on San Francisco's boarded storefronts" (link)
- "Coronavirus-themed murals from around the world" (link)

this is a very appropriate collection of images. And the opportunity to expand your Mona Lisa collection.have a nice week and stay safe
Artists are quick.
That’s a great collection Mae. And you are right, while they’re each wonderful in their own way, that last photo is absolute perfection. These artists can really capture life as it happens! I’m impressed.
The one in Venice Beach is my favourite of those you've shared.
I really have to laugh at that mural of toilette paper...btw, mein Schatz means my dear. Have a good week ahead, Mae!
"Mein Schatz"!!!! Oh, help!
Glad it shows a man ;-)
Hmmm, the mural I found last year shows the opposite, that I hope comes true, soon, but these are really impressive. And sad.
So much creativity
Thanks Mae, this is the first time I see a corona virus related mural, they are quite creative. Love the last one!
Thanks for participating.
Wow a really great covid joke collections. Really our human attempt to master the fear and that's how it works.
Who would think that Corona could appear in murals...
Great collection, thanks!
I included a funny Banksy reference for the coronavirus in my post this week.
Thanks for showing those murals, they're great!
I hope you're keeping yourself safe and well!
These are all beautiful, incredibly powerful and very creative. Nice finds, Mae.
That is a wonderful collection! Thanks for showing us these.
These are fun to see, in a bittersweet way.
