Happy T~K~W Day!

This is a very small portion of the hundred foot long Magnolia Thunderpussy Mural in Columbus' Short North Area. Created by Jon Strommel, a 2009 Columbus College of Art and Design grad, led a group of artists in brightening the northern end of the Short North with this and a coordinating mural across the street.

Googly-eyed creatures throwing up rainbows often appear in Strommel's work. As if straight out of a dream, characters of all different shapes and colors cavort in a crazy smorgasbord.

Seems like you're on a roll, David! Your images as of late are fantastic! This one caught my eye with its unique flavour and vivid colours! What a wonderful mural! We have some long ones in our city as well! They really make the buildings and walls more interesting! Great find and capture, King Davey Pooh! Perfect for T~K~W Day! :)
