Yet another mural was completed by the Tacoma Murals Project-this one at 5441 S. Sheridan Street. Lead artists were Kenji Stoll and Chris Jordan, a few of the main Fab-5 guys. Fab-5 is a non-profit dedicated to urban arts education and is responsible for several of the very cool murals in downtown Tacoma, including the Broadway garages. Fab-5 has classes on everything from legal graffiti to calligraphy-so let's just say these dudes know how to make a wall awesome.
So they did. On this mural.
The assisting artist team included: David Long, Yvette Simone, Chelsea O'Sullivan, Natalie Oswald (involved in mural design, not painting).
The neighborhood appreciated this mural so much that they even brought the artists some gumbo and other food while they were working. And it wasn't poisoned, which can only mean that Tacoma loves its artists.
Off duty rules.

This mural is so ugly. I understand doing murals but fab-5 has no talent. Please find the true talent in the city who have painted the other murals. These are a great idea if the opportunity is given to the right person. I don't see the beauty or experience in the work of fab-5. Not because its graffiti, which I like, it's just executed super poorly and overall is not attractive or easy to understand the message. Giant lizards, small birds, and everything in this mural looks towards a huge open space that is calling for a focal point. Please paint over this eyesore and start over please, my property value just went down.
