Yellow, blue and silver double-exposure graffiti lettering by Rate NLS in Baronissi, Italy.

🎞️ A “Movie x Rate” Double Exposure — Rate NLS in Baronissi, Italy 🇮🇹

Yellow, blue and silver letterforms overlap across the dark wall. Deep shadows and hard highlights keep both readings clear, while red mushrooms frame the piece.

Rate describes the piece as a “Movie x Rate” 3D double exposure. It was painted at Parco della Rinascita for the cinema-themed 18th Overline Graffiti Jam.

💡 What We Could Verify: Rate began writing graffiti in Dobrich, Bulgaria, in 2003 at age 14. In a 2017 interview, he said he had no formal art education, but tips from an art teacher helped him better understand color, perspective and shape, while Adobe Illustrator gave him room to experiment.

Anamorphic mural of a turquoise toy unicorn perched on a spring-mounted seesaw, appearing to project from a pink facade, by Leon Keer in Vancouver, Canada.

🦄 “Where the Unicorn still plays” — Leon Keer in Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦

A turquoise toy unicorn balances on a seesaw mounted on a long metal spring and appears to project from the pink facade. From the intended viewpoint, the painted windows and shadows turn the flat wall into a deep architectural illusion.

Where the Unicorn still plays is a 5.5 × 12 metre anamorphic mural with an augmented-reality layer, created with Low Tide Properties at 21 Water Street in Gastown. Massina Spelbos assisted with the painting; Joost Spek of 3Dpicnic worked on the AR, and Eendvoud developed the app.

💡 What We Could Verify: In Keer’s explanation of the mural, the long spring represents the gradual distance that grows between a person and their inner child, while the unicorn stands for Vancouver’s creative character.

Green-toned profile of a woman with closed eyes facing a hovering bird, with large pale-yellow flowers at lower left, in a mural by Laura Devita in Indonesia.

🟢 A Bird Meets the Portrait — Laura Devita in Indonesia 🇮🇩

A small bird hovers beside a green-lit profile, with pale-yellow flowers at the lower left. The black background keeps the face, bird and flowers sharply defined.

Devita shared a process reel captioned “Blooming in Hidden Places”. In her original post about the finished wall, she credits Diton King’s wall-blocking paint with creating the smooth dark background.

Raccoon driving a flaming orange vehicle in Enjoy The Ride by ABYS in Chilliwack, Canada.

🔥 “Enjoy The Ride” — ABYS in Chilliwack, Canada 🇨🇦

A frantic raccoon tears forward in a battered orange vehicle while flames, sparks, bones and motion lines erupt around it.

ABYS shared the piece as his second wall for Chilliwack Mural Festival. The festival’s official mural map records the title as Enjoy The Ride and places it here.

💡 What We Could Verify: ABYS’s first spray-painted character was a Rasta sheep. He then co-founded the Bêêêh Crew, which painted sheep in the streets.

Aerial view of a basketball court painted magenta, cyan and white with three large female figures, by Leonel Woods in Mexico City, Mexico.

🏀 Three Figures Fill the Court — Leonel Woods in Mexico City, Mexico 🇲🇽

Seen from above, three female figures stretch across a magenta, cyan and white court. The basketball markings pass straight through their bodies.

A process reel published by Blue Women Pink Men and co-authored by Woods geotags the court in Alcaldía Cuauhtémoc and credits Comex, AT&T México and México Bien Hecho. The court is part of the Blue Women Pink Men court program, which uses restored public sports spaces to promote gender equality and inclusion.

💡 What We Could Verify: An academic overview records tournaments for girls and boys, along with workshops on gender equity, respect and teamwork. The project’s stated premise is that colors have no gender.

Small black-and-white character carrying a sealed letter in Return to sender by Mul in Waterford, Ireland.

✉️ “Return to sender” — Mul in Waterford, Ireland 🇮🇪

A small black-and-white character carries a red-sealed envelope along the wall. A real green postbox stands just ahead.

Mul identifies the piece as Return to sender. It was one of twelve pieces placed around Waterford as the festival’s deliberately unmapped secret art trail.

💡 What We Could Verify: Mul credits Tristan Manco’s book Street Logos with showing him that a street-art character could stand alone without accompanying graffiti lettering.

Created for Waterford Walls, managed by The Walls Project.

Yellow-green rue flowers painted across the dark wooden back wall of a bus shelter by Klina in Vilnius, Lithuania.

🌿 “Ruta” — Klina in Vilnius, Lithuania 🇱🇹

Yellow-green rue flowers stretch across the dark timber back wall of a bus shelter.

Klina’s original post names the work Ruta and calls the plant Lithuania’s national flower. The Lithuanian Plant Gene Bank also lists Ruta graveolens as the national flower.

💡 What We Could Verify: Despite its national symbolism, common rue is not native to Lithuania. The Lithuanian Universal Encyclopedia dates its cultivation there to the mid-16th century and notes that rue sap can cause phytodermatitis.

Created during Women Graff’s Lithuania edition, organized with Roll Up Graffiti.

Tall black-and-white facade mural with fragmented lettering reading ‘I SEE YOU / I’M IN TWO,’ divided by a wavy gray strip, by Georgia Hill in Čačak, Serbia.

👁️ “I See You, I’m in Two” — Georgia Hill in Čačak, Serbia 🇷🇸

Two cascading black-and-white forms divide the tall facade while “I SEE YOU / I’M IN TWO” runs through them. The Serbian line alongside it, “Deo mene ostaje zauvek,” means “A part of me stays forever.”

In a local interview, Hill explains that “I see you” feels tender and loving, while “I’m in two” expresses opposing thoughts and the sensation of being divided between different parts of life.

💡 What We Could Verify: Before painting this wall, Hill mentored the five-day Female Street Art Incubator in Dragačevo. Women artists from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany trained in practical mural production, including lift use, paint selection and building an artist brand.

Painted for Days of Urban Culture at Nemanjina 29. Hill’s original post credits Irena Jevtović for the photographs.

Angular giant fish with a sun for an eye and a colorful landscape filling its body, painted by Squirl-art on the Dover Sea Angling Association building in Dover, UK.

🐟 A Giant Fish Swims Through Dover — Squirl-art in Dover, UK 🇬🇧

A giant fish crosses the wall with the sun as its eye and a bright landscape filling its belly. Hills, arrows and angular fragments fill the blue space around it.

Squirl-art’s original post describes the fish, its sun-like eye and the landscape held inside its body. Dover District Council places the mural on the side of the Dover Sea Angling Association building, opposite Norman Street car park at 14 Priory Road.

💡 What We Could Verify: The club behind this wall has held events on Admiralty Pier since 1903. After the 1987 storm damaged the pier, the association invested more than £180,000 in repairs and took over its management.

The wider two-mural project was a collaboration between Future FoundryPort of DoverDover District CouncilDover Town Council and The Art Club. Moose and Yeti assisted Greg Stobbs.

Blue-furred primate with orange highlights raising one hand and gripping a black spray can in a mural by Tckbear at Parque de la Bombilla in Madrid, Spain.

🐒 A Blue Primate Grabs the Wall — Tckbear in Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸

A blue primate emerges from orange light, foliage and curling lines, with one hand raised and the other gripping a spray can.

Tckbear’s original post identifies the project as Piorap 2026. It was painted on 15 August during Fescinal’s Pio Rap graffiti event at Parque de la Bombilla, where participating artists decorated the outdoor cinema fence with film-related imagery.

💡 What We Could Verify: The 2026 Pio Rap lineup identifies Tckbear as “Bear.” He also appeared at the 2018 Pio Rap event with more than 30 Madrid writers from three generations. The report placed him among the city’s 1990s cohort.
