Self-proclaimed “meme artist” Lushsux is back with another large-scale mural of Kanye West. The public artwork was freshly-painted on a wall in Linz, Austria and features a portrait of ‘Ye with the Internet-famous Big Brain Wojack meme sprouting from his head. A thought bubble with the words “We Live In A Society…” is embellished next to the monochromatic meme character, referencing a currently-emerging meme. Collectively, the artwork possibly acknowledges the rapper’s recent series of rapid-fire tweets especially, the one that exclaims “We live in a time where people don’t respect people for being themselves.”

View the mural above, which was hosted on Lushsux’s IG page until it went private earlier today. Kanye West recently proclaimed that he makes more money on shoes than Michael Jordan.
