Location:
Alley between 56th and 57th and Kenwood and Dorchester
Medium:
Mural
Commentary:
Chicago has lots of alley art, some done by midnight vandals but
much done legally for people who either care about the art, care
about the artist (usually a son) or think that a large graffiti
piece will discourage tagging. (It almost always does, as graffiti
artists tend to respect each others work.)
The work shown here is very elaborate and well done. At the bottom
is an outline of Chicago's skyline, the middle contains a complex
3-dimensional name, probably the artist's, with a fly in matching
colors drawing attention the the whole work.
