here is another great living walls mural in the old fourth ward area of atlanta. it’s by street artist know hope, who hails from tel aviv, israel. it’s actually super close to the gaia & nanook and jaz murals on edgewood ave.

know hope’s artwork is really amazing, i’m excited he did such a cool mural in atlanta! he works in various media; from cardboard cutouts & lanterns to painted murals and 3d installation pieces, all of which have a recurring black & white character with a red heart.

check out more know hope artwork here & here or some “making-of” coverage here & here. or visit this website for an interview from a few years ago.

you can also order a self-published book of “drawings, writings, photographs and other side-seen moments” called bound by ties directly from know hope for $35. hurry though, he only printed a 1,000.
