Every time I think it is completed, it gets better and better. It is located behind the Ethiopian Restaurant, Zenebech Injera, located at 608 Florida Ave, NW near the Howard Theatre.

thoughtfull

there is a big art event near there (specifically the abandoned building across v st from the 930 club), this friday at 6pm.

* the artist i spoke to said 6 or 7. maybe arriving at 7 is the safer bet? or 630 and just look at the murals/graf pieces on the side of the building. albus cavus (sp?) is the organizer

I love that it’s an Ethiopian design, too. Seems fitting for the general area.

    100% heavy metals! Recent tenant here, so I don’t know all of the details about its history. There used to be only two faces, the one on the right was a recent addition. One of the hinges got a bit too rusty and needed to be fixed – the face mysteriously appeared after the right hinge was repaired. The addition of white was VERY recent (within the past couple of weeks).
    
    I strongly encourage people to come by and take a look..the pictures really don’t do justice to the intricate use of color and lines. Plus, the restaurant next door is phenomenal. I’ve yet to see the artist in action, but I think the mystery of it all is pretty exciting!
