Recommended Posts

So the two murals I posted yesterday are actually for a different mural fest, Street Art For Mankind. There will be several artist from around the world that will be painting 19 murals in downtown Houston, MrD1987 and Hera of herakut both told me. Hera of herakut is from Germany and MrD1987 is from Houston but originally from France. He also said they will be doing another mural fest in the summer. I was able to find 7 of them so far but will continue looking for the others. MrD said some of the artist haven't arrived yet.

It's been a long time since I've used the word "epic" unironically, but the scale and pace and density of this in combination with last year's BABC really is epic.

I am surely not the only teacher planning a downtown mural scavenger hunt field trip for next year.

And more coming this summer according to MrD1987.

"A towering multi-colored bear. Majestic and introspective portraits. The silhouettes of ballerinas. A giant hand grasping at planet Earth. These are just some of the new artworks that now adorn buildings across Downtown Houston, giving the city a new and meaningful burst of color and creativity."

Saw a mural artist creating a new mural on the 1111 Main St. parking garage facing Dallas St.  Back in the summer several of the mural artists told me they were going to create another set in late summer, those never happened and I blame it on our super hot summer. I think this is the promised second set.

This building and it's associated parking garage where recently purchased by Harris County.
