Wynwood Murals 2019 - Part 3

Some of the murals are huge, and others like this one are small and fill a corner.

"Lady with Facial Tattoo."

Ola Volo.  "Horse and Birds."  This was one of my favorite murals from last year.

Ola Volo is a Canadian illustrator from Kazakhstan with a distinctive style drawn from
 history, multiculturalism, and folklore.  It is based on folk art, like Ukrainian eggs or
 Eskimo totem poles.  She does commercial illustrations for many large companies,
like Starbucks.

with spray paint to achieve crisp lines.  Many more of her works can be found
on the internet.  They are beautiful.

All-over patterns are used on several buildings.

This all-over mural looks like pieces of inlaid stone.

D*Face.  Frames from cartoon strips, greatly enlarged, are popular.

This large, long wall has a number of smaller murals by various artists.

Several versions of "I Love Miami" were created.

This large mural, by Renjifo, is actually several out-of-focus photographs of dogs.

Isabelle Ewing.  "Woman with Peacock-feather-like Hair.

"Woman with Wild Hair."

Memorial to musician David Bowie.

The "Sleepy Eye"motif was first invented for the Wynwood Murals.   It was created by 
Miami artist "Ahol Sniffs Glue."   It has since been taken over by many individuals and
 advertisers, often without permission.  Ahol has sued successfully over his rights to 
the image.   The original building, where new versions of the eyes appeared each year,
 has been torn down, and temporarily, this small section of wall across the street 
has some sleepy eyes.  Perhaps things will be different next year.

"Wild Eyes."

                   

    I can't get these two images to appear together.  All of these images
are on sections of wall between plate glass windows of a store.

"Floral Garden."

A small courtyard parking lot has two huge murals.

"The Princess and the Shipwreck."

"Kachina and Parrot."

"Darth Vader" wall in narrow alley.

Claudia La Bianca decorates this same building each year with several murals.

This year, Melania and Michelle are featured.

There is a small enclosed Wynwood Mall with a dozen shops.  The building is painted

each year by Tristan Eaton.  This may be a paid commission.  His theme this year

was a rose pattern on variously colored backgrounds.

"Even the Toughest Needs Some Love."

This is one wall of a Christian Mission building in the district.  There are quotations

and illustrations of five influential figures: Anne Frank, Gandhi, St. Matthew,

Martin Luther King, and Mother Teresa.

This triptych was entitled "Work in Progress."
