The original mural, which depicted Hillary Clinton in a red, white and blue string bikini with dollar bills tucked inside, was painted on the back brick wall of a local area business in Melbourne. The owner of the business was away at the time the mural was created, however the person who was in charge of the business during their absence claims that they had no problem with the mural on the wall. In the end the city council won out, as the mural has now been completely covered in solid black paint. As an artist Lushsux is no stranger to controversy and he often tackles many elements of pop culture, positive and negative with his art. He recently painted a mural of a naked Melania Trump with two images of Donald Trump covering her breasts. Lushsux captioned the image on Twitter: “Decided to censor my work now as not to cause any offense.”This is no longer a wall of a supposed “offensive and near naked” Hillary Clinton, a beautiful Muslim woman. pic.twitter.com/M7Uzr4gqBC
