Monday Murals - Cockatoos

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.

Thanks Sami 

On the corner of Murray and Outram streets on the outskirts of Perth's city centre, I came across this mural by Amok Island, a Dutch born artist who resides in Fremantle (Perth). If he wasn't an artist he would have been a biologist, and his illustrations embody the accuracy and precision of technical drawings used for identification purposes.

"Major Mitchell Cockatoos" was painted in 2018 and was commissioned by mining consultant firm Entech whose offices are just around the corner.

  3. This is a great mural — it reduces the bird images to a geometric design but still illustrates their most prominent features.

  10. Interesting. By the artist´s name I expected something of splashing colors and a bit chaotic, but reckon that´s what he wanted!
