This nature mural – with badger, fox, rabbit, squirrel, and owl – is integrated with the bushy tree the lies along the top of the wall it is painted on. It was painted as part of the rejuvenation efforts of the Linen Quarter BID, which describes it as inspired by Cromac Wood, which existed “till the latter half of the 18th century” (Belfast Street Names) before becoming the site of the Markets (Market Social History) and Donegall Pass areas.
Painted by Visual Waste (web) in Apsley Street, south Belfast, towards the Ormeau Avenue end.

This entry updates the images in Sorry It Was All For Nothing, which showed the central board a few days before its official launch, on May 8th. In the few days before the launch, the “garden” area was added, the pebble-dashed wall was repainted, and the small boards of kneeling soldiers – both WWI and modern British forces – were added on either side.

“Dream. Love. Strength. Achieve. Life can take you higher than drugs.” New (May 2026) figures from the NI Statistics And Research Agency show 251 drug-related deaths in 2024 in Northern Ireland, most of which (219) are from drug abuse (NISRA). This new wall-painting in the New Lodge encourages young people to turn their backs on drugs and engage in activities suc as aerosol art and mountain-climbing.

Here are four flags from “Ulster Carrickfergus Loyalists [Fb]” attached to the fencing at the top of Woodburn Avenue in Carrickfergus. For (limited) background on the UCL, see No Illegal Migrants.
First, “Ulster loyalist – unite and fight.” with a fiery-eyed skull (reminiscent of Eddie The Trooper).
Second, “We are united as one & united we shall remain. Never surrender.” with the flags of the “four nations” that make up the current United Kingdom.
Third, “Christ is king. Stand up to radical Islam. Islam is not a race – it’s an ideology of hate.”

“Sorry it was all for nothing – It’s on each and every one of us to save what our forefathers fought and died for.”
According to this Facebook post, the perceived threat being warned against here is “Communistic Islamification”. The “Islamification” is represented by a partial flag of Pakistan (an Islamic republic) being carried by yelling Caucasian figures in long black robes, advancing through a graveyard, in which an elderly man – perhaps King Charles – kneels in front of a headstone bearing a red Christian cross. That the cemetery is a military one is indicated by the medals on the mourner’s chest and the line from Binyon’s ‘For The Fallen’, which provides a referent for the apology and the word “forefathers”.
How the “communistic” threat is conveyed is less clear.
Two men were cautioned by the police for displaying offensive material (Sunday Life). The Cloughfern Young Conquerors declined to play at the launch and family fun-day (Sunday Life), but the event went ahead (on May 8th) (youtube). Additional changes were made to the site in the days prior to the launch; see What Our Forefathers Fought And Died For.

Here is a trio of inspirational and mental-health messages on the wall of Bangor Foodbank & Community Support Resource Centre (web).
The first panel shows people tossing a ball around in McKee Clock Arena (WP), with the message, “No matter how educated, talented, rich, or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all”.
The second shows children under dark clouds, bound by the chains of social media and alcohol that can be broken by a dove.
The third shows people climbing the hills around Scrabo tower, illustrating the message, “You have two hands, one to help yourself, the second to help others”.
Painted by “Stephen Greer art & design” (web) in Balloo Avenue, Bangor.

These are small works on boards by Italian artist Jorit (ig) (full name Jorit Ciro Cerullo) who typically paints large walls. The pieces are all of human faces, and they all have in common a two pairs of joined streaks, one on each cheek.
The painting above has been mounted on Northumberland Street (Visual History), west Belfast, in a vacant spot left by the left-hand-side of the Climate Change board which dates back to 2012 and which was seen most recently with a Martyrs’ Committee board placed on top (T05821). On the right-hand-side there is now Soldiers Of The Republic.
The painting below is on the substation below Divis Tower. For the anti-joy-riding tarp, see 100 Years Of Partition.
