Local residents of an Atlanta community decided that they did not like a particular commissioned mural and without permits took things in their own hands by poorly covering the work with gray paint. The mural causing conflict was painted by French muralist, Pierre Roti, and was organized with permits by local nonprofit Living Walls. Within hours, many local residents came out to show support bringing sponges, brushes, and dishwashing liquid to help clean the paint off the mural that showed optimistic signs of being restored.

    Here is additional coverage from the Living Walls conference in Atlanta.  The event was a huge success bringing artists from all over the world and permanently changing the visual landscape of Atlanta. The following are walls by Greg mike, Ever, Freddy Sam, Never, Gawd, Labrona, OverUnder, LNY, Sharktoof, Ferel Child, Entes, Pesimo, and Christopher Derek Bruno.
