Big gay kisses! Mural at @upfest Swipe to the end for the smexy inspo - shoutout to @raoniandrighetti & @padraigwalshh for modelling and making out for me.
Was so fun to bring the queer to such a big street art festival (largest in Europe) - over 300 painters and thousands of visitors. Painted this in one day, long enough to get lobster sunburnt.
Had a lot of people come up to say how nice it was to see different imagery represented. And I was stoked to see queer paint friends like @mister.samo painting here too.
I zoom cropped the image to depersonalise the faces (I'm over the distraction of individualism) and try and get the viewer to look a bit longer to work it out (heard a lot of "ohhh, its a kiss!" comments). But I still wanted it to be very visibly and obviously queer so went for bearded male models. Lots of families and kids attending so hopefully it prompted some constructive conversations.
Shoutout to my lovely paint neighbour @brittpaintsalot - swipe for her lovely painting.
Sharing more of the other paintings on my story so check them out and at @upfest

@kobrapaint_official This mural is temporary for the weekend, I painted another small permanent mural nearby (posting soon). Want more queer murals? Message your local mural festivals like Upfest asking them to book me, and for larger walls. The hardest part of mural painting isn't the painting, its the getting access to walls, especially for non-traditional work.
Big gay kisses to you all! 😘💕
