"This place would be a fantastic place to come if Jews were cheating on their wives' - Bernie Sanders" says LUSHSUX's image of Larry David, who played Sanders on SNL.

The joke, much like all the other images in the project, was born after he asked his Twitter followers what he should write alongside the graffiti for the Curb Your Enthusiasm star.

In another, an image of Morgan Freeman was supplemented with a quote about Palestinians by Nelson Mandela.

There were also political ones, with Trump appearing next to a graffiti of Hillary Clinton. Clinton askes "what happened?" to which Trump's cartoon responds: "I happened."

In a poignant jab at the viral takedown of Trump by rapper Eminem, Trump can be seen sending the hip hop artist a letter worded along the lines of his hit song Stan about an overzealous and unstable fan.

Mark Zuckerberg was also taken down in the graffiti, with the LUSHSUX calling him the founder of Myspace, a rival social media platform from Facebook's early days.

There were even two Rick and Morty graffiti, including one in which mad scientist Rick boasts about turning himself into a pickle.
