Nomad Clan are a group of street artists based in London that have been busy this year working on London's walls and who have also painted for Upfest this year. This year's Upfest in Bristol is all about the television cartoon series "The Simpsons" with many works inspired to paint or use the characters as references in the work. The creator of "The Simpsons", Matt Groening, contributed to this year's Upfest by picking three of the artists to paint at the event. One of these was Nomad Clan, and they responded by painting a picture showing the outspoken Lisa Simpson with the words #BeMoreLisa.
Nomad Clan specialise in large-scale pieces, and this one certainly does not disappoint. The yellow Lisa Simpson character remains in the background while a young girl speaks through a speaker-phone. Lisa's character in "The Simpsons" is the outspoken and forward-minded girl who is not afraid to stand up for what she belives in, whether that is women's rights, vegetarianism, education, exploitation, or any other number of causes.
