"Street art is often vandalised but rarely is the vandal a commercial company drumming up business. In a first for Belfast murals, speech balloons have been added to the Ring Of Peace mural in Waring Street to advertise office space. They read “Forget it, Muriel. I’m moving my business to CQHQ without you!” “Oh Jeff … It’s too close to the City Centre! I want to be with nature …”. We hope that indeed the ad does move away from the “muriel” – the balloons appear to be pasted over the mural, rather than painted on. The speech-balloons are in fact an improvement over the earlier complete covering of the mural (paperjamdesign (
