Monday Mural

Linking to Sami, here is this week's Monday Mural, the photo being taken by my friend Wombat.There are so many birds with different looks and by the nearby buildings, the scale of the work is huge. How do muralists have the concept of creating such works?

  1. I often wonder the same thing; it takes such a special kind of vision to map out something that massive and keep the proportions so perfect.

    They use computers and grids that are then enlarged. Lasered lines are used by some.

  6. Before computers, I wonder if muralists somehow sketched it out on a building.

  7. Yorkshire Pudding said it first and I'll second that. I think murals this large would have been quite difficult in the days before CAD programs, and therefore more exciting to see and enthuse over. I do like this one though.

  8. Birds make such great subjects for art work. I love the enormous image.

  9. I suppose it is a bit like how crop circles are drawn on the fields. You get your graph paper and then just big it up.
