The Mona Lisa is a timeless classic so it’s only natural that Mona Lisa graffiti would come around sooner or later. Judging by these pictures, Mona Lisa graffiti is long overdue.
These pieces of graffiti are great because they are so original. We’ve all seen the normal painting complete with a mustache or a rubber ducky, but whoever thought to pair Mona Lisa with an RPG? The Mona Lisa graffiti that I like the best has to be the one where she is painting over herself. Peep the gallery and decide for yourself Mr. and Ms. Trend Hunter.
