Graffiti tagging is a problem in cities. The solution? Hire an <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/www.greatcanadianhomes.ca/photos/west-coast-artist-eclectic-home-1901100/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">artist</a> to do a fantastic mural, like this one in Perth, Australia, where you'll drive up and face a deer in headlights (minus the panic). Most people who do graffiti under the radar have respect for fellow artists and won't tag a commissioned mural. But enough about that, how amazing is this industrious deer?Outdoors13 Garage Doors That Are Anything but OrdinaryDeer in Headlights
