Elephant Mural


I was driving around doing errands when I passed this fabulous mural of elephants in a fairly industrial part of town so of course I made a quick U-turn and here it is! It was painted by Viviana Astudillo and Logan Miller who work as part of the Loft graffiti/mural program that I have shown you before. Wonderful!
Taking part in Monday Murals. For more murals click here.

  5. fab image, and i dont think it would have the same effect if that bright blue industrial bin was not there.
    Excellent mural though.

  6. Oh wow! probably the best mural by far. It makes you wonder why an artist with such talent would do so on a wall that in time will be destroyed by the elements or idiots. Thanks for sharing that one.

  7. They are absolutely gorgeous. It's a shame they aren't strong enough to shove the dumpster out of the way!

  11. Incredible realism in this mural. She has a very sympathetic eye for these giant animals. I always wonder why a specific subject is selected for this specific spot. Thanks for letting us know the artists' names. And thank you for participating in this week's Monday Mural.

    just curious if the dumpster was always there, somehow it makes the mural look even better, in my weird opinion

  16. If this mural were on canvas I'm sure it would sell pretty fast. To my eyes it's a piece of art.
