Blog yOur Urban Odyssey: stories that make up life in the city—your city, any city — wherever you may be.
odyssey:
“1. An extended adventurous wandering. 2. An intellectual or spiritual quest. [After the Odyssey, a Homeric epic recounting the wanderings of Odysseus after the fall of Troy. < Fr. Odyssée Odyssea Odusseia Odusseus, Odysseus.]”
There is so much going on in this mural! I love it. Do you wonder if the artist had to be high to develop something like this or did he/she just let his imagination flow and draw/spray/write what he felt that moment? Crazy, very cool. Nova, can you explain the caption?
This looks like a collage of different artists. The original which is mostly now covered but the first you see on the top, is a Shepard Fairey (the artist who did the famous Obama image, Hope) mural that was a victim of a “splashing”. Visit http://blogs.villagevoice.com/streetculture/archives/2007/01/dadaist_artdick.php to get glimpse of what it looked like before the other post its, but after the defacing. It looks like a critique of Uncle Sam… “Do as he says, not as he does….” Thanks to C-mixto for identifying it as Shepard Fairey…
