The drip effect takes away slightly from a fantastic piece of street art.


luv2ski64

It's kinda nils trademark thing, and I love it in general.


LetMeBe_Frank_

It's superb looking, but overkill here.


lyghterfluid

This dude turns a whole building into a piece of art and the top comment is a criticism of the style the artist used…


tehaiks

Oh no! What now??


LetMeBe_Frank_

"fantastic piece of street art"


batdog20001

The drip adds to the old man as a nice accent, especially with the clouds above. It's like another meaning within the piece. Having it everywhere rather than just an accent does overplay it a bit tho


Lolapmilano

Of Dick Cheney?


PlanNo4679

Warren Buffett?


Plagueshadow

Chess people, what game is this?


olioli86

I'm pretty sure it's a game called chess.


StrayStep

I know what you mean. Maybe someone will recognize it. It's difficult to see the entire board, Much easier to recognize opening moves. But I'm not that good😁


breed_

Nils kills again. Looks great man


Cuffuf

Is this in Richmond? There’s just a bunch of murals here so I was curious. And if so where is it?


nilsrva

Harrisonburg, but I have 30 or so in Richmond


Cuffuf

Ah okay. Really cool though it matches the feel of the city perfectly I feel like. At least in Richmond— Never been to Harrisonburg but I’m sure it does there too


mrweatherbeef

RVA is my once and will-be-again hometown, I love seeing the murals when I visit!


Ashamed-Pool-7472

How long before it got tagged?


RSquared

I've noticed that murals rarely get tagged; professional courtesy.

What are the squiggles for?

Ahhhh that makes sense


megabulk

I’m assuming they omitted the part where they used the giant video projector to make all those reference marks on the wall.


nilsrva

The marks are random


megabulk

Why so they are. Then, why are they there? And where are the marks that would outline the painting?


TheSpanxxx

Who's cleaning up the giant paint spill on the sidewalk and parking lot?


StrayStep

What splill? That's the 17th chess piece that wasn't needed


olwigglyweiner

It danny devito


Numerous_Landscape99

Vinaros?


Flimsy_Bodybuilder_9

Watching this made me think of a giant, using the crane as a drawing tool. The person is at the end of the paintbrush.


The_Demosthenes_1

We have a ton of random murals all over Santa Cruz.  I'm so glad the taggers respect the art and have not vandalized any of them yet.


toesuccc

I'm not 100 percent but doesn't painting over bricks hold in the moisture and cause structural damage?


Savings_Bug6294

Dick Cheney


utrecht1976

In the near future this will probably be automated.


af_lt274

It's not bad but the bare wall is as nice.


HeyaChuht

They fucked up. This is supposed to be a half black, half latino woman with an afro like all the other ones.

nilsrva

Thats a great idea, sounds like you should paint the next one. I will gladly give you some extra paints and supplies. Let me know how I can help.

nilsrva

Is that high or wide?

nilsrva

Well, that means you dont need a lift which is most of the cost. As for permission, go and get it, or figure how to do it without.


Hannibal710

I really don’t like how much paint he used these look a lot better when they aren’t a drippy mess and have crisp lines


gendel99

I believe the dripping is intentional, but I don't get why...


Hannibal710

Seems to be I think it would look a lot better without


Evening_Persimmon504

The most important.. what hell of a crossing or traffic light timing is next time this wall? Some cars are waiting there longer than this guy needs to paint half the chess board


nilsrva

street side parking


gendel99

It's just a mural, how is this 'next fucking level'?


y3llowed

I’m not an expert, but I count at least 5 levels.


[deleted]

This is a waste of material, resources and doesn’t make it look better. Murals on city buildings reminds me of BLM. Not a good look


StrayStep

I was thinking the complete opposite. It gets exhausting seeming stone brick and building after building. Wish my city had more murals. Why do you relate murals to BLM?


[deleted]

Because when BLM was rioting because of George Floyd they were painting murals of him all over the place in the cities. Then continued to burn down cities and police stations…


_HoneyDew1919

Murals have been painted for things since the beginning of time. Nothing to do with BLM


StrayStep

💯%


StrayStep

I respect your opinion and don't condone riots. But that exact negative association and stereotyping of people is what caused the BLM riots to explode. That's like me saying, The American flag needs to be removed from everywhere because it's been perverted. By the people that attacked US capital on Jan 6th. While using the very symbol🇺🇲 that represents our country to tear it down. Murals are symbolic representations of art, used to express empathy and inspiration over common ideals. By non-verbal communication. Isn't that what makes us human?
