If you walk around the old part of Naples (particularly the Quartieri Spagnoli), you will see many murals and paintings by the Italian duo Cyop & Kaf. Many of them are weathered and faded or written over but they are still hard to miss. This is a selection of the ones that I saw in Naples one wet spring day.
Flat characters, stylized, simplified.

Exaggerated body parts

Missing body parts. Awkward positions.

Improbable proportions and impossible actions
