A mural painted under a freeway. The Palestinian flag above the slogan "EXISTENCE IS RESISTANCE". To the right is an angry dark-skinned man wearing an olive green beret with a red star. His mouth is open and there is a word balloon with some writing I can't read and which may not be intentionally part of mural.

@nina

Do you have any background on this place. I figure an artist might be privy to some cultural background on street art like this.

IIRC, locals call it “Jazz Alley” or something like that. There are a couple of small, mostly jazzy night clubs, that have entrances from here in the alley in this waterfront neighborhood if what’s referred to as Old Town.

All of the history here is inferred, deduced by me, but the most troublesome thing for me is the explanation as to why the railroad tracks are right up against this old building - now some sort of trinket shop for tourists (on the other side of the building).

Anyway, I just figured you’d might be able to shed some light on this or point me towards some links explaining this phenomenon.

Kindest regards,

Bradley

Well, they *used to be* windows.

Every now and then when you go by United Divers Inc. in #SomervilleMA, you might see someone on a stepladder painting new undersea #murals.

#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday
#scuba

Storefront with a white sign over the battered red wooden facade across the top of the building that reads "United Divers Inc." partially obscured by an overhanging tree. On either side of the entrance, set into the brick building, are boarded-up panels with painted undersea-themed murals. A pull-down gate painted with the red and white 'dive flag' is halfway down over the glass door, indicating the shop is ready to close.
Close up view of the same shop, taken on an angle from the front right corner of the building.

I find fascinating #roofs fascinating enough on their own. There's no need for #murals to conceal fire protection walls.

Just to imagine that there was scaffolding above this roof or that the artist could have fallen down and caused dents in the sheet metal ...

‘He is a Spokandian; he is your family’: #Spokane #IndigenousActivist shot in New Mexico

September 29, 2023

By Alexandra Duggan
alexandrad@spokesman.com

"A longtime member of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane, [#JacobJohns] has been vocal during #ClimateChange protests in Spokane, has painted #murals on Spokane city walls, has fundraised for #Indigenous groups through selling his paintings, organizes #SocialJustice rallies, and more.

"He just finished painting a mural in the Howard Street underpass on Sept. 19 to celebrate #VotingRights restoration for recently incarcerated people on National Voter Registration Day. Johns was also present at the #StandingRockPipeline protests in #NorthDakota.

"In just two months, he was scheduled to lead an #IndigenousWisdomKeepers Delegation to discuss solutions to climate change.

"'His home is there in Spokane. He tries to help out everywhere he can. Any community mural, anything grassroots. He is a real warrior,' [Johns' friend] Lane said. 'That’s what warriors do, standing up for #MotherEarth. I know that’s what he’s doing that for – his daughter, and all of mankind.'

"Lane is waiting for updates on his friend’s condition. He said as the community waits, they pray.

"'More than anything, I hope this can bring our communities together,' Lane said. 'We are all Americans. All of us. We got more in common than we do the difference.

"'We can’t let this be normal. He is a Spokandian; he is your family.'"

This iconic #indigenous themed display in #kingsdomain #melbourne #australia is breathtaking, for mine.

The respect for aboriginal rights and indigenous equality is strong in these parts.

What better way to celebrate such vital aspects of modern Australia than to display such magnificent art within the heartland of the city’s botanic and recreation areas?

The eyes of these children are filled with hope, happiness and compassion.

I have a strong sense the voice of a nation is making lasting strides, for the better.

For ‘ALL’.

I just love this mural. I’ve posted some time ago, but can’t get enough of it

Found it again in my travels recently.

The #rosella is astonishingly good. So too the #wombat to the right of scene in the second pic.

Painted by HaydenDewar.com in 2019, this scene complements another painted on brick, just off Acland Street in StKilda. It has the same humanoid figures and #Australiana themes.

I’ll visit that and feature it here, sometime in the not too distant future.

This mural (pictured in this post) however, is located in #Bentleigh #Australia.

Gorgeous, and intriguing huh?

This scene takes in a portion of a larger mural (around 20 metres wide) on a brick wall. This section of the scene is around 4 metres wide by 4 metres high, with a vibrant rosella mid flight, tilted slightly flying from left to right, zooming through the air. 

The bird is looking at the observer (the camera) almost with human intelligence in its eye. Has various blue coloured wings, spread wide and individual / distinct feathers showing. Great painted detail. Very detailed. 

Its back and body is adorned with red and a bit of black individual feathers and it’s head is red, darker blue chin, grey curved beak and black eye. 

It’s a side shot and the bird almost has what appears to be a grin… most certainly has a cheeky look in its eye. 

Riding on its back (closer to its neck) is a slim and slender humanoid woman (has breasts) in a teal
Coloured skin suit. 

The woman has flowing blonde hair, flowing in the wind, but no face. It looks like a light brown (perhaps skin tone) disc, for a face. 

It is a real fun scene.

Hold onto your asses, it’s #intro time! 😆

I am a recovering web #designer & currently create #abstract #art. I mostly work in #acrylic #paint & #markers.

The subjects I paint range from #comicbook / #manga pages, #maps, & yellow/red cards from #soccer matches.

My #painting style is #geometric, #colorblock pieces on wood panelboards, canvas, or paper. I have also painted #murals & use a lot of #tape in an effort to create the perfect line.

Was directed to this work-in-progress by a fellow #VisualHedonist around the corner, as we were both taking pictures of a recent mural in #Mckinnon #Australia, lunchtime today.

And OMG, glad I went to have a sticky-beak!!

Such #feminine elegance forming here. Accompanied by leaves, perhaps some roses and plenty of #fem #love!!

I’d suggest this gorgeous piece is about halfway complete and the detail (face, neck, arms, fingers, surrounding scene etc) will take the longest to complete; will be painstaking. Just guessing.

I can see this coming along beautifully, with shading and more depth to come. This will look absolutely breathtaking once complete.

Justine, the creator of this emerging masterpiece took a little time out to chat to passers by and me. This accomplished artist is a marvel to speak to and you can see why she’s an angel who paints from the heart. Just wow and… gosh!

The Melbourne artist (Juzpop) on a small ladder, poised to place brush to the wall, one third up from the ground. 

Painting is partially complete; I’d suggest half-way done, with the basic layers applied on a brick wall about 20 metres in length and 7-8 metres high. This building is an eye sore, an old brown brick telephone exchange building, I know it well. 

The main feature of this creation is a young woman’s face, most likely mid-twenties, pretty, tanned complexion, black hair and red lipstick (face is not complete), with her hands framing her face, blue fingernail polish on right hand (left not yet complete). Her face is surrounded by a sea of blues, purples, reds, pinks and subtle oranges which are to become leaves and foliage of some sort… perhaps in bright and dynamic, typical autumn colours going by the aesthetics thus far! Also roses or some other flower forms are in the making too. I can see this coming along nicely, with shading and more depth and detail to come. This will look absolutely breathtaking once complete. Just wow.

The #Rone art exhibition at #FlinderStreetStation #melbourne #Australia was amazing.

This is 1 of 11 rooms that was on display, titled; “The Glasshouse”.

This display in particular was very moving, for mine.

I loved the props, music and of course the poignant candid (natural) appearance of the young women making their way in her new world in #melbourne #Australia back in the day.

Visited #Rone this evening at #FlinderStreetStation #melbourne #Australia. And what a treat!

To say I was moved is an understatement.

The art, accompanying installations, lighting and music as an overall ensemble was simply stunning.

Here’s a little taster of the ‘Glasshouse’ installation, one of 11 themed rooms on display within the rustic old wing of the station.

You were allowed to take pictures and vid so that was a bonus. Took over 200 pictures all up.

I’ll feature each of the rooms over the coming days.

@BrentToderian These are brilliant. Great examples of public art > and so much better than the #advertising that we're continually forced to look at, and which defaces so much of our cities.

Note that Johnny Cash is depicted circa 1968 when he recorded 'At Folsom Prison', which is among his very greatest work.

Here's a sampling of the many #murals in #Philadelphia

#StreetArt #Mural

Contemplation, Clarity, Resilience, by Eric Okdeh. The culmination of months of workshops at the Kirkbride Center, an inpatient behavioral health facility, Contemplation, Clarity, Resilience speaks to the process of acknowledging, accepting, and overcoming hardship.
Atlas of Tomorrow is a mural by artist Candy Chang, which has a kinetic component in which the viewer can spin the wheel at the bottom.
Eight storeys' high, Common Threads features characters based on antique figurines owned by the artist's grandmother, with students from two area high schools mirroring their poses. The mural, which was created in 1998, reflects the common threads that link us across cultures and across time. On a typical weekday, 5,800 people pass through the SEPTA stop at Broad & Spring Garden Streets, making this one of Mural Arts' most visible and iconic murals.
"Colorful Legacy" mural by artists Willis “Nomo” Humphrey and Keir Johnston. The project has helped to raise awareness of the issues men and boys of color face in gaining access to education and jobs, increase men and boys’ access to behavioral health services by reducing stigma, and building momentum toward both community and individual wellness for a diverse group of men and boys of color in Philadelphia.

Not usually into street art like this, as I’m drawn to imagery of people and ‘things’ BUT this caught my eye in #StKilda #Australia

I do like how the artist has used the two frames 🖼️ to add colour to the otherwise mono toned display.

I thought this was clever.
