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.

acclaimed children’s author and illustrator maurice sendak passed away today. he was best known for where the wild things are & in the night kitchen, classics that most children of our generation grew up with.

for an amazing remembrance of sendak, albeit super sad, head to npr’s fresh air. the program looks back at various interviews terry gross had with sendak over the years along with links to the original interviews.

maurice will be missed, but at least his stories live on.

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.
