2606 Georgia Avenue, NW

Pleasant Plains Workshop is expanding into the former Soul Vegetarian space at 2606 Georgia Avenue, NW. I like the new mural’s homage to nearby Howard University:

I never noticed this mural on Florida Ave, NE before. I love it. It’s located a block east of the entrance to Union Market.

The awesome Bohemian Caverns mural was intact at 11th and U Street, NW. Only a slice remains today:

This mural was painted to deter graffiti taggers who would regularly vandalize this spot on 15th Street, NW. I’m so psyched to see that after many months – the cool mural remains. (Knock wood, knock wood.) Though this project is not affiliated, it makes me appreciate the Murals DC program that much more.

Decoy and Murals DC paint a wall (or two) from katie cleary on Vimeo.

From Albus Cavus:

“Katie Cleary, a film maker sent us this documentary about DECOY painting 13th st and Park rd NW. Artist Alicia Cosnahan aka DECOY created that mural as a part of MuralsDC Program in Summer 2012. Her website is www.decoyink.com”

I’ve always like the old city green mural at the corner of at 9th and N Street, NW. They’re moving to 925 Rhode Island Avenue, NW in the spring.

Dear PoPville,

I live pretty much across the street from the cardboard pizza-maker Washington Pizza, so I watched the progress of that somewhat controversial mural. But I noticed that I assume the owner of the pizza place took it upon himself to paint in some open space of the mural: Washington Pizza parking only! In addition to spray painting the area on the ground in front of the mural. I’ve only ever seen a cop park up on the sidewalk there. And I’ve never seen anyone purchase pizza from them.

What I wanna know is where the hell does this guy get off defacing a mural with a pointless message like that? How is this ok?
