This #aneko #mural in a culvert in southeast #raleigh is quite a challenge to get to. I expect I’m one of only dozens or maybe hundreds to see it in real life, even if I did have to get my boots soaked to find it. This area seems to be a hotbed in Raleigh - both channels of the creek were covered in great art and I have tips that there’s more around. I’m not exactly sure where the tracks are around here but there were tell-tale signs of #freight hopping all around this area.

I snapped a photo of this buffed SLUTO mermaid in Raleigh, NC this weekend downtown near the train tracks. I love it because even though it’s been painted over, you can still tell exactly what it is all the way down to the detail in the mirror. It’s almost like the artist made the buffer an unwilling part of a monochrome piece.
