| ..The Wings court Maritime Mural was designed for the Connect for Change
sustainability conference held annually downtown New Bedford MA , Through the nonprofit ,3rd eye
Unlimited, the Marion institute commissioned my self and 2 other
aerosol Artists (evolve and too trick) to paint a maritime themed mural
in Wings court...we chose to do a seascape with 3 separate era's of New
Bedford's seaport. from left to right..a whaler (Lewis Temple, Inventor
of the "Temples Toggle" style harpoon, that became industry standard.), a
tall ship on the horizon, and a modern day trawler on the right. under
the water the word "Evolve" is painted in stylized lettering) it was a blast to paint and has been a backdrop for the conference as well as music videos, lectures and events. Marion Institute Site 3rd Eye Unlimited  | |||||||

Can't believe I've never seen this one before! SO NB...love it. When you upload pics to this site, can you make them any bigger? Email me if you want to talk about how to make this a wider format with larger pics since it's an art blog. Hope you don't mind me saying that, but the art is just so fab, it needs to be seen in more detail.
ReplyDeleteBeth the majority of my images are Hi-res, this one is not, better pic soon. I hear you though, the images should burst through the screen ...lol!...New images are taken at 4068x3072, but i believe blogspot caps it At 1080..or so?
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a research project on collective memory, focusing on New Bedford murals, for a college class. I wanted to include this one in my paper, but I can't find information about it anywhere else online! Could you please help and provide me with some more information! Its a really cool mural and I would hate to exclude it simply because I can't access enough information.
ReplyDeletegood looks on the paper, as a muralist I appreciate the respect, contact me at z.meunier@gmail.com.
