We went to get images of Glen Molloy’s (ig) new ‘Two Ronnies’ mural in Gresham Street, but it was already being painted over by members of the TMN krew – CASP, ANCO, MASH, ROTER. The one Ronnie above was snapped before the transformation was complete.

February 2015 saw the controversial painting of two UDA murals in the Glenfield estate, Carrickfergus. They are now graffitied over with “child beaters”, “fuck ur UDA” (above) and “child molester”, “fuck yerz” and the red hand x’ed out (below). It’s not clear what (or who) the allegations concern.
For the originals, see Glenfield Community Association.

Of his famous painting, Edvard Munch said “I stopped and looked out over the fjord — the sun was setting, and the clouds turning blood red. I sensed a scream passing through nature; it seemed to me that I heard the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood. The color shrieked. This became The Scream.” (WP) Above: A Belfast yell with clouds of “peace” line green.
For a 1993 use of the actual Munch painting, see Give Them That Screamin’ Feeling!
