This mural appropriates the iconic 1942 Disney image of Bambi and Thumper, but switches the characters’ antlers and horns. The artist’s signature is in a small cloud seeming to emanate from the Bambi figure’s rear end. The artist’s Instagram page comments, “@beholderindy mural got a PG rating this year … looks can be deceiving,” referring to a previous mural she had created on the same wall in October 2018: that mural depicted a pair of amorous bunnies and was so controversial that it lasted a mere 24 hours before it was painted out by the building owner. The current mural was created during an informal artist’s residency in Indianapolis in the summer of 2019.
