A while ago, I put a short story of mine, A Kiss in Time, on Amazon for sale. The story revolves around a graffiti artist who wants to transition to a public wall artist, but doesn't have access to a wall.Yesterday I ran across an interview on Twisted Sifter with SRIL, who has completed a huge mural in Salt Lake City. This is the kind of wall Eric, the story's protagonist, would love to have as a canvas.
Eric isn't an ordinary run-of-the-mill tagger, however. He's also a fan of parkour and uses walls not only to practice his parkour flips but also to add foot art to walls one step at a time. In fact, he builds a footprint rainbow on the wall of the loft he and a police officer share.
Public murals have fascinated me for years, in particular hyper-realistic and trompe-l'œil ones. Consequently, I really enjoyed the interview with SRIL as well as the photos of his newest wall.
Other muralists to check out: Adnate, MTO, and ETAM CRU.
Enjoy!
