Story: Mystery solved! Get ready to hear a story about some OG graffiti artists. While ArtWalks has documentation on the 2016 version of these murals in the alley, turns out those murals were not the first ones there. (You can still see the 2016 version in our Archives Section.) This group of graffiti writers, led by thedecism, have been painting these walls since the early 2010s. The property owner built the walls just for the artists to paint and occasionally the group gets together for a paint jam and puts new murals up.
Key Formal Elements:
- Classic use of outline around the characters
- Variety as a design element
