Two murals from Mandurah, painted by local artist Steve Briggs, painted at the Monkey Bar, located in Pinjarra Road.
He painted the murals for free as a way to give back to his community.
Apparently the technique used for the eyes of the monkey is the same used with the "Mona Lisa", where the eyes follow you no matter where you stand in the room.

That's a rather strange monkey. but it appears that the rest of the bar and lounge have equally unique murals. I'm back now and hopefully, my internet is much more stable than it has been up till now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating Elizabeth. Hope your internet has finally been sorted.
DeleteO macaquinho parece estar aborrecido.

Não parece muito feiz 😊 obrigada Catarina.
Delete...Sami, I like your monkey business! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom 😁
DeleteIt looks as if a graffiti vandal has painted over some of the monkey's jungle!
ReplyDeleteCute mural.
be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Not sure if that's graffiti or if the mural was originally painted like that. Thanks Mae.
DeleteOh what striking colors dear Sami! I love the cartoon style and that monkey is super cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stevenson, glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteNot a very nice mural but rather chaotic wild and not that arftul.
Comparing the 'following' eyes with someone like Leonardo da Vinci is completely ridiculous. By far this 'artist' does not compare to da Vinci's level!
Good that he painted this for free! Would never have hired him...
Hugs,
Mariette
I just wrote what I saw on the net about the artist. We certainly can't compare him to Da Vinci, but he tried the technique on the monkey's eyes.

DeleteWe've been discussing how muralists earn their living. I had looked into it a bit and found that cities put out requests for submissions and pay 18-25 thousand dollars a mural in the cases I found, not a big city.
ReplyDeleteSo your comment "painted for free" got my attention.
The monkeys are adorable but I was intrigued by the traffic sign for the train.
Thanks Jackie. Here I know of city councils who pay for the muralist to paint certain walls. I actually just noticed the sign when I posted the photo and was a bit baffled as there is no rail line there at all. I wonder if it was an old sign that just stayed when the area started being redeveloped a few years ago.
DeleteI love that cute, big-eyed monkey!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon 😊
DeleteHe has a knack for painting cute monkeys!
ReplyDeleteThey are cute, thanks Pat.
DeleteQuite a contrast!
ReplyDeleteThanks William 😊

DeleteHe's a bit cute Sami, that monkey with the mesmerising eyes 😉 I'm off down to Mandurah tomorrow ✨
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip Grace, you will find lots of murals there :)
DeleteI'm always fascinated by that eye thing!
ReplyDeleteI think the monkey looks quite cute.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
