I apologize for bringing this to you in pieces, but the alley is very, very narrow and the mural is very long. It was pretty impossible to do it in any other manner. This mural has shown up in the blogsphere many times, but I have yet to find anyone that knows who painted it. It has such a wonderful Dr. Seuss quality to it. Look very closely at the first photo and you will see a real hanger in there.
This reads: “breaking cracking leaves. 100 sneezes echoing i need a lulaby[sic]. sleep creeping in under my cheekbones and fingers slow words spilling in half time like instant replay in some sick and twisted dream game and my head is playing faint songs I’ve never heard. Typewriter on my knees and paper shaking searching madly for some word some scrap of something written down and lost again. I want to know what it feels like to hold a handful of worms in the crepuscular predawn of some stormy sunday. we are doing a dull thing with style not nodding or shaking our heads now you are trapped in my dreamworld. blink”
This is such an incredibly beautiful and moving mural. Thanks for taking its picture!
Fabulous! Too bad some fools have done a bit of tagging.
Wonderful SOOC work!! 🙂
Thank you for printing what the paper in the typewriter says as I would have been very curious to know if you hadn’t. Whoever did the mural has talent, in my opinion.
This is a wonderfully interesting mural. Fascinating.
Whoever did this should take credit for it! It is wonderful!
Wow!!! Captivating!
