Thanks to a twitter user for the heads up. I spotted the artist working on it today and it turns out it is one of my favorite muralists – Joel Bergner. You can see a profile I did on Joel here. I’ll be sure to update when it is completed.

This was recently painted on the side of 2608 Georgia Ave. Though it’s still not clear exactly what the new business is inside. It never seems to be open when I walk by. I do love this mural though.

New tavern coming to 501 8th Street, SE on Barracks Row. The alcohol license says it will be a tavern featuring regional and seasonal combinations of local seafood with recorded music. The occupancy is 49 with an additional 32 for the sidewalk cafe.

These came out pretty sweet. The Rec Center is located on Warder Street near Otis. More murals after the jump. (more…)

We looked at this mural and spoke with the lead teacher a couple of weeks ago but it is looking really good now. I’d say it’s 90% finished. It came out even better than I expected. Based on all the emails I’m receiving it’s seems most are in agreement.
More photos after the jump. (more…)
