In the 1990s, a novelty shop near my home in upstate NY sold a poster
which featured a cartoon drawing of an aerial  view of several streets
of boring, grey, colorless houses. In the middle of a poster, there was a man who
was in the process of painting his house bright, swirly colors. The
police arrived to arrest him for this offense (their cruiser was
parked in front of the house and they were leading him away). I can't
find this poster searching in google (at least the terms I was using),
and I called the novelty shop and they no longer sell it.

Where can I find this poster (or at least an image of it)? Ideas much appreciated!

Thanks!!!

Hi. i remember this or a similar poster. The artist who painted it is
called "Mordillo". This might help you to narrow down your search.

good luck. regards.

That's it! Here's the image:
