downtown decatur was covered with living walls murals in 2011. there were six pieces installed in all, which is quite impressive for such a small area. this first mural can be found on the side of squash blossom in the decatur square. it’s by gaia & nanook, the same duo who did the sunrise on edgewood piece we covered a few weeks ago.

here is another graffiti-style living walls piece. it’s by atlanta-based street artist plf and can be found in oakhurst village. it’s on the facade of the old mulligan’s building, which was home to the ultimate hamdog and luther burger. right now it houses the oakhurst church, which seems like a strange place for a hip living walls piece.

the work features intertwining tubes, which is common in plf’s work. here is a video of his graffiti work in progress!

here is another kirkwood living walls piece; who would have thought our little neighborhood would have such hip street art? this one is a series of work by ltrs, peeve & blief at the corner of la france street & arizona ave ne near the arizona pub. it’s more old-school graffiti/tag style, which is cool to see. i couldn’t find much more information on the artists though or other works by them for that matter.

you can find this really amazing/huge living walls piece on the side of the u*space gallery in the old fourth ward. it’s really close to the jaz painting we wrote about a couple of days ago.

the title of the mural is the sunrise of edgewood and it was created by new york-based street artist gaia & baltimore-based nanook. it’s part of the 2012 living walls campaign. here’s other great work by gaia and nanook and also an article on the production of this mural.

here is another living walls mural in atlanta. you can find this gem on the back side of paris on ponce. it’s a collaborative mural by seattle-based christopher derek bruno, florida-based benjamin niznik & atlanta-based drew tyndell. i don’t know much about these guys, but i really like this mural! it’s tough catching the whole mural when there aren’t any u-haul trucks parked in front though.

here is another living walls mural in kirkwood that’s very close to our house! it’s by atlanta-based artist/designer greg mike, whose work can be found all around town, especially his loudmouf design. he also makes these large & small mad cans, which are fun.

greg’s kirkwood mural is great, we are excited to have such cool street art in our neighborhood! i have yet to drive by when that yellow van wasn’t parked in front though, so i don’t have any photos of the full mural. you can check out the whole design here while i wait for a photo opportunity.

here is a post we did a couple of years ago with some photos of greg’s work near the eyedrum. little did we know it was work he did for the 2010 living walls conference.

the next installment in our living walls coverage is a piece by marco sueño. this one is actually in kirkwood right near our house, which is pretty happening for our neighborhood.

marco is a peruvian street artist who affixes graphics on walls with wheat paste. the results can be amazing, as is the case here, but they also don’t last very long. i drove by his kirkwood piece this morning and there wasn’t much left on the walls. most of the art was peeling off or gone at this point. it also looks like an ape tag i see around town has been added.

hopefully we will get another, more permanent, living walls piece in its place.

there is a great non-profit organization in atlanta called living walls that brings artists from around the world to create murals throughout the city. it started out as just an annual conference but has transitioned into a year-round endeavor. they “seek to promote, educate, and change perspectives toward public space in our communities via street art.” over the last few years living walls has brought some amazing street art to atlanta and also gotten local communities involved.

we are going to try and cover the various murals living walls atlanta has produced. our first selection is a recent contribution by local atlanta artist trek matthews. you can find this piece in cabbage town, at carroll street and tennelle street near the back side of the cotton mill lofts. it’s a really amazing fox covered in various native american patterns. you should go check it out!

for an article on the production of the mural, head to brooklyn street art or the young blood blog.
