Recently, Baadal Nanjundaswamy, an artist from Bangalore, made headlines for planting a life-sized crocodile in the middle of a road after civic authorities failed to repair a pothole.

Nanjundaswamy’s efforts paid off and the Bangalore municipal corporation covered up the pothole in just a day after the pictures went viral.

But, this isn’t Nanjundaswamy first has used his art for civic activism. The artist who covers streets with his 3-D painting has been making a mark for a while now. Here’s a look at some of his other work.

Is that a real elephant? No, it isn’t. It is one of Baadal’s life-like paintings. (Baadal Nanjundaswamy/Facebook)

Last year, he drew a cobweb around a manhole in Kanakanagar main road to get the civic authorities’ attention. That too was fixed. (Baadal Nanjundaswamy/Facebook)
