Monday Mural - Star Wars

I must confess to not being a fan of Star Wars or any science fiction or fantasy movies, but looking through pictures taken on our last visit to Portugal in April 2018, I came across this one of Darth Vader, and I thought it would be the ideal one for this week to honour the recent death of the actor Peter Mayhew who portrayed Chewbacca in Star Wars.

 Painted by the Portuguese team of SkTr in 2017 in Lisbon's biggest and oldest wall of street art "Hall of Fame". 
Situated in a big avenue (Conselheiro Fernando de Sousa) near the Amoreiras Shopping Centre, it encompasses about 750 sq mt (8072sq ft) of walls and has been utilized for street art since the 1990's, with about 90 paintings in exhibition. 
There are new works coming up all the time and the initiative is supported by the City's Municipality Urban Art Gallery

You know there will be lots of murals to follow from the Hall of Fame 😉😉...

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.

    What?! Not a Star Wars fan? I wonder what Darth Vader would say about that. :-)

    I'm impressed that Darth has become a street artist - he looks at home with his paint spray :)

    Dearest Sami,
    Such characters don't speak at all to me...
    Great photos though!

    My son loved Star Wars and when the movies came out we'd wait in those long lines so he could see the movies. It was a wonderful time.

    Have a fabulous day and week. ♥

      Thanks Sandee, I think most young people like that type of movies.

    There was probably a shrine set up in front of the mural on the fourth of May.

    Loved this. It's truly a bit of humor, but well done, none-the-less. And I WAS/AM a Star Wars fan.

      Thanks Elizabeth. I'm sure there are a lot of Star Wars fans out there, I don't feel as bad for not being one.

    Made me smile Sami, especially with the tree with red leaves planted strategically so it looks like paint/flames coming out of his spray can 😉
