is there a deeper meaning? with the recent murder of Trayvon Martin in the news i cannot help but think of it
it seems the odd thing on the left is about to beat/stab the boy (as a distraught person looks on), and the other spirit is trying to bring him up somewhere?

I think it is fitting that the boy looks like Trayvon Martin……

The first (favela) mural is much better in my opinion, but that’s probably because of my saudades for Rio de Janeiro.

Gorgeous, so dynamic, can’t wait to see it completed… for now.

the top mural is waaaaaay better. the artist has definitely learned a lot about paint since the first rendition.

The new mural is great (as was the old). I swear, every week there is something different on Bloombars’ facade, exterior space, front area, side walls, etc. I guess the artistic instinct calls for constant reinvention!

I don’t think Meridian Pint owns the building; I think they rent the space.

All along I thought that place was a bar.

man, i dig both murals, the old and the new. i wish meridian pint would invite the folks from bloom bars over to paint up the giant ugly grey wall they’ve got looming over 11th and park. i would welcome bucolic imaginings of favelas or outer space/inter religious scenes.

I wonder why they took away the story…
