Internet-famous image of Kanye kissing Kanye is now a giant mural

Kanye loves Kanye.

Australia apparently has a thing for murals of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. 

After a mural of Kardashian’s recent nude selfie appeared in Melbourne last weekend—and was quickly defaced—another artist, Scott Marsh, paid tribute to West in Sydney. And he used a digitally enhanced image that West—at least according to Reddit—wants “removed from the Internet.”

But that’s probably not true because Kanye loves Kanye, and Marsh’s mural turned the image into a giant, two-story tribute to Kanye’s love of all things Kanye.

West, never one to hold back on Twitter, has not yet addressed the mural, but really, it’s a work of contemporary art, just like his tweets.
