Artist in trouble over 'obscene' Hillary Clinton-Donald Trump graffiti

The murals were meant to spell trouble and that it definitely did. A mural artist Lushsux's social media account raked a storm by posting semi-nude photos of US presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

It started with painting a mural of Democratic presidential candidate Clinton wearing a star-spangled swimsuit with $100 bills tucked into it.

The Maribyrnong Council threatened Lushsux with a fine which is when the mural was briefly changed into a Muslim woman dressed in a niqab.

The council said that the mural violated their gender equity policy. The Victoria police also held that the mural was offensive and in contravention of the Graffiti Prevention Act of 2007.

However, this is not the first time, Lushsux is famous for his other murals inspired from politics. Check them out here. 

P.S: Instagram deleted few pictures due to 'obscenity' issues.

 

I don't know if I made it more offensive or less?
