Those full building works are awesome. I question whether the lack of billboards is truly related to the rise of these murals. They are on MASSIVE canvases that surely were not previously covered in totality by an ad. If this rise in these works is a response/reaction to the lack of color, then the quote in the article that “Advertising is both an art form and, when you're in your car or alone on foot, a form of entertainment that helps relieve solitude and boredom” has some validity. I would much prefer a ban on ads, but I question that correlation on these two.

We have murals and billboards in our town. The mutual started showing up in force with the rise of instagram.
