This is a great piece of grafitti, hopefully it will be left there to stay for years to come, a piece of history.

Some more of these around Birmingham would not go amiss ;)

Do the artists require permission to look at the murels?

Yep inspiring stuff. The mural was painted by Brummie artist Mohammed Ali. He's known as AerosolArabic -  http://www.aerosolarabic.com/v2/about.php?page=1.

There's plenty of his work around Brum including a mural on Manjits builders merchants in Moseley and another mural in the car park of Aldi in Sparkhill that reads 'Feed the Poor'. Some people have mistakenly assumed this is some kinda promotional advert associated with Aldi! There's also some religiously inspired multi-faith murals around as well that some people might not appreciate as much. Ali emphatically states that he doesn't support 'illegal graff' and it looks like he's one of the select few painters that have managed to eek out a career for themselves jetting off all over the world to do his ting. Wonder if he started off tagging and doing 'illegal graff' in the first place?

You can check out the painting of the free gaza mural here  http://www.aerosolarabic.com/picgallery/#/content/UK/Birmingham%20Free%20Gaza%20Mural/ where you might recognise none other than Moazzam Begg posing as a shoe throwing protesta for the mural.
