Street artists have a lot to say about President Donald Trump ― little of it flattering.
Works criticizing the former reality TV personality began appearing on walls around the world soon after he launched his bid for the presidency in June 2015.
Now that the man is actually in the White House, there’s been a renewed explosion of anti-Trump murals, stencils and posters.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the most notable pieces so far ― and we expect to add to this collection over the coming months and years.
Seen some anti-Trump street art? Or can you help us further identify the artists or locations of the pieces we already have in the list? Email your images and information to lee.moran@huffingtonpost.com.

38 Meanwhile In America... (Greg Auerbach)
Greg Auerbach initially painted “Meanwhile In America…” in California featuring Trump and his vice president, Mike Pence. But the artist switched out Pence for Russian President Vladimir Putin in January 2017 when he made some changes after people scratched out Trump’s face from his first mural. "Without being hateful, I wanted to make a piece that expressed two things; we spent so much time focusing on whether or not the election was cheated, that we barely explored the fact that all of our disconnects with each other left a gap wide enough for President Trump to squeeze through,” Auerbach told HuffPost. “Secondly, I wanted to relate to what many of us feel is the biggest shortcoming of this new administration and president; a lack of qualification, and a sense of recklessness, be it a political recklessness, or (more dangerously) a moral one.” -
39 Captain America (D-NEK)D-NEK painted seven of these murals in locations across Bristol and Somerset in southwest England. "They were all in place for Inauguration Day," D-NEK told Huff Post, although the artist refused to say whether the pieces were anti-Trump. "If you see it as pro- or anti- that's down to you. Personally I thought it looked hilarious, that's why I done it."

40 I Am What I Am (JJGuns)
Ann Butler spotted this JJGuns piece in Hillsboro, Oregon. The artist himself told The Huffington Post that he gave Trump two left hands "because he is never right." "I did this piece to hopefully get a laugh," he added. "After seeing Hanksy's bowel movement I was very inspired, just out here bringing the light to a very sensitive subject that has plagued America and the world." -
41 Adolf Trump (JJGuns)
JJGuns is also behind this "Adolf Trump" piece. "The walls are also a place of protest," the artist told HuffPost. "You get a lot more bees with honey than with napalm. It's times like these that bring everyone together." -

52 Make America Sane Again (Bambi)Street artist Bambi painted this mural in London in January 2017. It’s “in strong protest against President Trump and his crazy actions and executive orders he has administered in his first week of office,” the artist wrote on Facebook. “Lady Liberty stands as a symbol of democracy, civil rights and freedom of speech, press and women’s rights. Lady Liberty shares the world’s shock at the insanity that has gripped America in recent days. Lady Liberty will continue to protest against Trump’s warped, racist, bigoted and paranoid view of the world. We shall not be silenced.”

53 A Special Relationship (Pegasus)
Pegasus painted this piece, which shows British Prime Minister Theresa May spanking Trump, in Shoreditch, London, in January 2017.
