Flag Mural Coverup
Murals can be used for many purposes — in this case to cover up graffiti. And when the mural is well done, then graffiti “artists” won’t touch it out of respect for the art.
Emily Brady recounts in her article, Graffiti Meet Old Glory, how the mural painting of the American flag by artist, Scott LoBaido, on the Little League dugout in New Springfield, NY serves as a deterrent to future graffiti and instills national pride for onlookers.
Here are several other examples where murals can serve to beautify and cover up the otherwise ugly vista. In Eugene, Oregon, decorative murals hide a vacant pit/landscape where an old Sears building was demolished.
And murals have begun to appear on security barricades in Baghdad.
This link on the UK Guardian shows all the murals.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
