Do you have time to meet Poseidon in the public restroom? Or for a selfie with his wife? Now it's possible!
Artist Krishna Malla decided to change the face of the public toilet in Southbourne, England turning it into a huge mythological aquarium.
Krishna Malla began working on the building 2 weeks ago and expects to finish mid-October. It will also include jellyfish, coral, and dolphins.
The artwork features Poseidon and his wife Amphitrite and their son Triton along with a sunken shipwreck and an array of marine life.
“It’s meant to look like a fish tank so I’m turning into a cubic block of water with lots of marine life inside of it and hopefully it will be 3D - there’s a sunken shipwreck in the middle which you can see from a different angle at each side which will be the continuity of it.”

Technicolour Moon (Tech Moon/ Krishna Malla) is an artist who has been specializing in large-scale mural work for over a decade.
A trained illustrator from Cornwall, his work is often underpinned by a love for wildlife and exploring varied spray painting techniques.
“It’s taking a creature that is generally uncelebrated, a fly, and finding some beauty within it, which I think fits the area.”

From a graffiti background as a youth, Krishna's work fits somewhere between street art and fine art, having created and art-directed murals for the likes of Netflix, the BBC, and M+C Saatchi, while also exhibiting canvas work from Bristol to Melbourne.
