Tentacle

Tentacle

Kind of an odd painting... the little guy in its grasp was obviously added later on.

Creepy...
Now, graffiti is fine here . . . .
Yup. That's some of the most beautiful graffiti I've ever seen. Imagine how long doing that must have taken?
The poor little stick figure is going to be eaten!
Cool.
Obviously, the stick figure in the tentacles grasp & the waves were added later, but I think the tentacle itself was a "legit" painting as opposed to graffiti.
Which gives us an interesting look inside the heads of those who worked there, don't you think?
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see
In an octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you
in an octopus's garden with you
in an octopus's garden with you

Octopus's Garden - sung by The Beatles (sung by Ringo)
Jim Alcorn is right. The tentacle and the ocean view seem to be "authorized".
Looks like a kind of painting that SHOULDN'T be in a phychiatric facility, given the state of people's minds...
Usually, I'd be prone to whine about graffiti, but I think in this circumstance, it actually adds character. It's not your characteristic stylized "Nuggz wuz here" or the usual obscene body part graffiti we see in America. Here, it's colourful and artistic.
I kinda' admire it.
hyaaa this iz jst nt even scary hahahahahahahahahahahah lol
no wounder the people were insain if they saw massive tenticles everywere
I love art! =]
it is akin to murals as one sees here in Georgia on exterior of buildings.
