Here is the second part of the earlier post on Laurel’s mural in New Orleans… S’beautiful!
———————————————————————
Here are some of the finished pics of the mural in New Orleans. It is located in the Bywater neighborhood on Clouet at Dauphine.
The large circular empty spots are for other artists to come and add something to the mural and has lots of donated special items from people in the area, including these blue and white tiles that are in the sidewalks spelling out the street names. One set says OK and another spells out WOW. So I decided to call the piece “Nola WOW Mural”.
Lots of healing hearts and guardian eyes and general circus theme
Check out the second to last photo. A graffiti artist whose tag is a cassette tape already participated and added his/ her tag. The owner of the wall is really a cool guy and he posted a flyer we made up on his property explaining that people were invited to add something. People are already putting their names in the circles to hold the spaces!

Sounds like if it’s not already too late, get down there and grab a space!
Thanks for the update Laurel! We all think it’s fabulicious!!!

Wow! This is big and so much fun to look at. It totally reminds me of Zagar’s work all over Philadelphia -except for her fantastic color application. She is the queen of color!

My NOLA pal, Katy wants to know if those eyeballs are following her. (She saw a similar design in my hood here in Cali awhile back.)
BTW, Kimbo, what does it take to become a true blogger? Inquirin’ minds wanna know!
