Wyland: The Windy Whales (1997) painting on exterior of Hotel Inter-Continental in Chicago.

The Whaling Wall is back! Apparently Bedrock's mural was destroyed in a storm from the other week, but it's definitely of our benefit.

More about Wyland Whaling and his iconic murals. 8/30/23.

thinking about the whales that used to overlook the schuylkill river and 30th st station, and what they took from us

Silly Game Time: The world needs more giant murals. I'm talking a minimum of 100 feet tall and 100 feet across (30.5 meters)! But, preferably, this painting should be big enough to cover the side of an apartment building!

What or who should be the subject of the next giant mural? (Bonus points for where it should be placed.)

I had this answered earlier and then I clicked close on my tab :)

The Kmart near where I grew up had a giant Wyland mural on it of humpback whales. It was the coolest shit in the world. The mural is still there, the Kmart is not. But you're so right we def need more murals.

I talk a lotta shit about Florida (as it deserves) but maybe I'm Florida pilled but the state is so fucking beautiful a lot of the times. So I think big ass mural of a Florida spring on one side that turns into a swamp/everglades on the other. Get some big Florida thunderheads in and some manatees and gators and shit.

Robert Wyland mural at Pier 39. I grew up near an epically huge Wyland in Redondo Beach, and I have a special place in my heart for him.

2023-02-20 - 001-005 - HDR by vmax137 Via Flickr: The large blank canvas was one of two Wyland Whaling Wall murals featuring orcas. The bare rain soaked concrete had a seafood restaurant while below it is an open air below ground parking lot that’s been sealed up with concrete cinder blocks. I don’t have any strong ties here but I think it would have been less painful for those that did had Covid not delayed development. Instead there are a lot of similarly empty memorials throughout surrounding neighborhoods and across the city. Two of the Wyland Whaling Walls used to be large murals of Orcas on the sides of La Quinta Inn and Suites at 8th Avenue and Bell Street. Resident Orca pods are often seen in Puget Sound. www.flickr.com/photos/vmax137/2670838208 www.flickr.com/photos/vmax137/2670836636

Local Talent Showcase - Volume 3

Kittery's Artsy UPGRADE - Wall Mural Backstory

Kenley Darling brushes sizable wall mural next to the park before approaching right turn leading into the center of Downtown Kittery, Maine

The mural is best viewed in person, promotes taking healthy strolls, inspires creativity and will probably turn many frowns upside down

It was an ordinary drive through Kittery, Maine when something new caught our attention on the horizon. A large colorful mural was coming to life as we approached the artist to gather and share the backstory. We introduced ourselves, small-talked over local public art, the community benefits and got permission for the picture.

The mural compliments the seacoast's atmosphere and commonly nurtured good vibes mentality. We lost Robert Wyland's Whaling Wall and there's still famous street art Downtown, Portsmouth. It's wholesome when jurisdictions have artists turn mundane surfaces into appreciated experiences.

Kenely Darling is involved in local art scenes and kindly welcomed us to an art show that night. It's very nice to have encounters with kindred people that are involved in something communal and mutually intriguing. A big part of Voicearth is helping talented individuals share and build momentum...FOR FREE

Curious to see the finished mural? You'll have to take a quest into Kittery and see for yourself :)

"The wall seems to be a hit. It’s really incredible what a little paint and some hard work can do. I see it every time I paint a mural.  It’s like a seed of joy and beauty that spreads throughout the community.  I can’t wait to see what else this mural inspires in town <3"

[unproduciblesmackdown]

apple, auburn, burgundy, jam, scarlet, vermillion

hell yea thank you for t-pose throwing this dagger at me lmao

apple: favourite fruit?

i think mangos are Objectively the best fruit but in terms of what i have more often....raspberries and blackberries are good......oranges are pretty solid and it’s like, great, vitamin c.......can’t get that enthused about bananas coz they’re just kinda like, Shrug, but it’s like okay great i appreciate this opportunity to eat a Staple......strawberries / cherries are pretty good when they’re good, right, brilliant concept there lol but you know. applesauce is good but i’m not usually that hyped about apples lol like if they’re at all on the [soft / grainy] area of the spectrum it’s kind of a chore.

auburn: favourite animal?

i like both cats and birds a lot.......i guess Domesticated Cats is a solid answer but i like many animals

burgundy: are you punny?

yeah lol mostly in person, would break it out with (or at) my siblings a decent amount......and i guess also always enjoy Wordplay beyond puns and like, am gonna point it out if i notice it / will probably break it out if i think of it. i also have Never experienced the idea of like, puns being Bad or lowkey frustrating or whatever. i think they’re either Neutral or genuinely funny in part Because you gotta reach for it / really make it obvious you’re Goofing Around and lean into it, and i always think that’s truly Humorous. i like when ppl make it obvious they’re Doing A Bit and commit to it a nonzero amount. and i like puns and will think them up myself yeah

jam: favourite flavour of jam/jelly?

raspberry jam

scarlet: space or ocean?

we love the respective winston / tayston associations w/ both these symbolic-ass concepts lmao......and it’s fun coz i’ve Had specific interest in both, not to say i’m Uninterested now, but it’s like, all us out here going “i should be a marine biologist or smthing” back in the day, i def considered “should do space something or other someday?” at some point, and enjoyed learning shit about both topics a fair amount.......and again i’m not now Uninterested or whatever, it’s just like, less [cool aesthetic, cool shit involved] and more like well they’re also both just kind of Big Soup Of Bullshit ft. a lot of space that’s occupied by Nothing except plankton or radiation or crap, and i hate a lot of the shit that lives in the ocean like look i respect what it is and that its not the ocean / the ocean biology’s fault that it’s nasty and heinous and stupid, same @ space and all the bullshit flying around there, but it’s like, okay you all stay over there and i’ll stay over here. and i can’t say that i’m like “boy i absolutely Should have been some kind of ocean biologist type person whatever / astrophysicist or whatever crap” like, not that into it. i’m following the twitter account for the webb telescope coz that’s the one project i give a crap about, we don’t need to be going to the moon or to mars but at the same time everyone stop going “we can shoot ppl into space but” or “we know more about the Moon than what’s in the ocean,” like, great. the more i know what’s in the ocean the more i resent it. gross ass bullshit........when it comes to more Superficial stuff like [looking at the night sky] or [being at the beach] both are fine. i’m always like trying to remember constellations and stars, but not That hard, b/c i know like half a dozen. the beach is kinda Overrated as like, the pinnacle of ~vacationing~ like, it’s fine, but w/e. i don’t love walking along and having to instinctively fling my leg out b/c a crab tried to grab on and im hurling it away, or wading into the water and hoping nothing touches me. not horrified by everything though, b/c a few times it’s been like “lets feel around for those sea slugs guys in shells” and once or twice a lil shark has visibly swum by and i’m sagely like “ah that’s fine. sharks were not really a concern until jaws freaked everyone out about it,” congratulations to me. also i once was like “should i look into taking up surfing” but didn’t and it probably wasn’t feasible and Whatever @ that. so right lmao i’m supposed to be choosing.......i guess Aesthetically i choose space because the night sky is always cool, just last night i was like “hey epic Phase Of The Moon (just barely Waning Crescent)” whereas like yeah really clear tropical shallows are neat to look at or wyland murals or w/e but nowadays i just think of the fact it’s nasty shit living in there and mostly like, the Dark Depths where i don’t care to be or think much about. giant isopods are pretty funny but everything else down there......christ. then i was gonna be like Ecosystem-wise gotta go with the ocean like s/o to its contributions to the global ecology but then i remembered that space has The Sun and everything so.....guess that wins as well. lots of fucked up shit in space like quasars and the high energy cosmic rays we don’t know the source/s of but at least that shit tends to be Definitely Not Around Here whereas everything in the ocean is too close for comfort and a lot of it is stuff we have real Visuals of and i'm not a fan. i also wouldn’t care too much to Visit either like, No Thanks to being an astronaut or doing any ocean exploration. but yeah still space kind of wins. not w/ much of my enthusiasm. i say all that but i’d probably get somewhat Emotional at the cosmos vangelis theme from having seen cosmos like 17 yrs ago and remembering v little or october sky just shooting some bottle rockets and crap........what would make me Em-ocean-al though......idk. space winning again, halfheartedly :/

vermillion: tell us a random fact about yourself

oh my god lmfao the difficulty of remembering Facts About Myself.........we’ll be here all day if i try to think of an answer but let’s just go with i’m either like 5′11″ or 6′0″ and just tall enough that when people encounter me they’re like “hey you’re tall” woohoo
