Painted

This blog attempted to spruce up the kitchen this weekend with a painting project.  Well, apparently one's painting is only as good as one's taping.  If nothing else, it gives this blog an activity to do this weekend as well.  Alas; oh well.  The touch up efforts do have good paint vibes in effect; effectually, this blog sat down beside a professional house painter this morning at blogger's fav Sbux.  Super cool Scottsman chatted up blogger from the favelas of Rio to his tenure as a professional footballer for Australia to...well, of course, house painting.  Blogger also encountered a semi-regular Sbux cohort who loves art.  This gave way to getting to share the most exciting thing this blog has seen since the fresh avocado that landed in blogger's salad last week.  It is a brand new mural in Culver City off of McManus Ave.

It is Lichtenstein-esque, complete with his signature style dots, and is, in fact, a spoof on Lichtenstein's original piece (depicted below):

Fellow Sbux art fan matched my Blackberry mural pic with a Blackberry art mural pic, saying he'd seen the mural going up on Melrose by the "guy" who did the Obama Hope picture.  Blogger is incredulous, "You mean Shepard Faiery?!"  Art fan could not match enthusiasm, "I don't know." (For the blog record, yes, Shepherd Faiery.)  Outside Barracuda, Fairey did an American Flag mural.

The close-up of the stars is especially cool, and super S.F. esque...

Perhaps blogger should commission a mural for said spruce-needing kitchen.  Shepard, are you reading this?

Life sometimes can be painted.
