”Adelaide

There's a mural on Adelaide street that I often walk past that depicts a sequence of people posing in a series of street scenes with all the styled realism of a Normal Rockwell painting and like most street art I've been left wondering just what the story is behind it. At Murallocator.org I learn that it was painted by Bill Wrigley in 1986 when the building was his home and studio. With the help of Google Maps Murallocator aims to record every important piece of community mural around the world and has entries for India, Kenya, Iceland, and New Zealand amongst many others. Anyone can submit a photograph of a mural to help build the project and when there's an artist named, there's often a link to their website to view their other works.
