Strange Character

 

Two years ago I posted images of a series of murals giving tribute to David Bowie.  You can see them here and here.  They are wonderful murals that depict Bowie's chameleon-like personality.  

Across the street from those murals were three more murals painted by three different artists.  I've been trying to find some information on these murals for a long time with no luck at all.  This one seems to have some kind of symbol painted on the bottom right but I can't tell if it is a kind of signature or a bit of graffiti.  I decided it's time to show you these murals even if I can't give the artist full credit.  This week I'm featuring one with what I think of as a dark fantasy image.  Let's just say it's not a world I'd want to visit.

Taking part in Monday Murals.

I wonder what was was on the artist mind when he painted this mural.
PS: I like the David Bowie murals.

Looks like someone spent to many hours in the desert sun,

It is rather dark...quite and imagination!

It seems to reflect the times we are in.

OK -- what's weird about this is, before I even read your post, I thought, "Oh, that's David Bowie." I have NO IDEA why I thought that, because I don't recognize the costume, but I think this mural may be Bowie-inspired as well. Just a hunch. (I am no Bowie expert, by any means.)

Looks like it's from another world.

Very dramatic indeed.

It's a bit creepy, but very artistic.

Nor I.

The face reminded me of David Bowie, but the rest was pure fantasy. Dark fantasy at that.

Linda said...

Wow. Looks like some strange graphic novel character.

Very very interesting. One day you'll see a mural in the same style and will learn more about the author I am pretty sure.

I like the David Bowie ones, but this one is quite scary.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Sharon.

Very different mural as usual, very cool.

It would be very apt for Halloween.
