Smoking – Yes; it’s on the side of the Midtown Direct Smoke Shop at 133 E 13th Avenue. It’s signed S. Lopez – Caps Rawk ’11 and gives this web address “ikeepmoving.com”. Steve Lopez is the artist who worked with a group of local, at-risk youth, to create the huge Emerald City Mural behind the WOW Hall on Lincoln Street that I bloged about back in July. Lopez is an alumnus of LCC and the U of O.
Wing detail from the mural. I really like the idea of a tree sprouting butterfly wings.
This is a good video of the mural artists in action.
I’m glad they put a colorful mural on the side because the front looks like a jail with all those bars. It’s amazing how a small quantity of paint can have such a transformative effect.
