Canning MP Andrew Hastie has called in a professional graffiti artist to paint a mural over his campaign poster on Pinjarra Road which was defaced on the weekend.
Artist David Garland from Abnormal Design was at the site of the vandalism on Wednesday afternoon, painting over the graffiti with a new work that would include Mr Hastie’s image.
It was revealed in the afternoon that the new mural included Mr Hastie with a handle-bar moustache and a mullet.
Mr Garland also added the tag: “That’s how it’s done, mate”.
Mr Hastie took the original tagging of his campaign material in good humour.
“Will Mandurah's Van Gogh please come forward,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
He suggested that the would-be artist needed to get some tips from a professional and suggested Emma Blyth, a well known Mandurah artist with a studio and gallery in the Smart Street Mall.
Mr Garland’s mural was expected to be completed on Wednesday afternoon.
