Last month,
I helped out a friend while she worked at her new property,
Oasis on Grand, at the
Grand Avenue Festival. There was a
map of the murals off of Grand Avenue and her sister and I walked around and photographed them. Here, I am going to briefly name off the murals, but if you're really interested, use the information I provide while looking at the
map [this is the larger version]. I must also warn you, and prevent confusion, the photos display the order in which I decided to find the murals, thus they do not coincide with the order listed on the map.
|
This mural is #4 on the map, "Nerd Monster" by Luster Kaboom |
|
These next few photos are of #3, "Journey of Garlands" by Beatrice Moore. |
|
Here is an extremely large mural, listed as #2. "Peace and Diversity" by Ray Rivas. |
|
These series of photos all line an entire small parking lot, #1 on the map, that resemble a recycling theme. These works are done by several artists: Serc, Page, Stoec, Ekose, Brez, Alphen, and Bisk. |
|
These monsters are located as #5 on the map. "The Jungle" by Luster Kaboom. |
|
This is #6, "Jesus Saves" by Francisco Enuf Garcia. The great thing about this mural was the illuminated halo around the figure. I took this photo during sunset which was setting exactly perpendicularly to the left of this photo/mural. I had to ask my friend if that was the painting or just the sun. It was kind of bizarre, but neat. |
|
This awesome building can be located on the map as #11. "Blue Ooze" by Luster Kaboom. |
|
The child's head on the dumpster was done by El Mac. |
|
This is "Triclops" also by Luster Kaboom, #10. |
|
This parking lot is #9, these photos are of "Funny Faces" by Luster Kaboom. However I didn't capture the other works that lined the other faces of these walls. |
|
This mural is probably my favorite, #8, stretches across the whole lot wall. This also displays works of several artists: Francisco Enuf Garcia, Albon Fernandez, Edgar Fernandez, ave chee, and Jeff Slim. |
|
This was the last mural, #7, that I did not get great photos of due to the fact that it was getting darker outside. This was painted by Sentrock, Noel Bartel, and neighborhood kids. |
