One artist who has had a piece painted over is Mau Mau.
His piece, a comment on the Games' alleged corporate and environmental impact, was painted on the side of a privately-owned warehouse which he had permission to paint in Ealing, west London, in July.
It lasted six days before it was painted over by the council.
Mau Mau street artist's work on the Olympics and the painted over wall Mau Mau's piece in Ealing was removed with six days of it appearing
"I kind of expected it (for it to be cleaned). I guess someone deemed it was offensive to the public," he says.
"It's about the brand police they have now - it's crazy how they're going about it."
A spokeswoman for Ealing Council said the piece was removed following a complaint.
