Making the Mural

It was hard for me not post pictures of the mural while it was in process. I have a terrible time keeping my mouth shut, particularly when I’m excited about something. I was already living upstairs when Shane B started working on it. Every night for a month, he’d come in around 9 and work until I’m not sure when. I’d always find some excuse to poke my head in and take a few work-in-progress pictures, and then hide them on my computerĀ in a folder named “Don’t Post, Idiot.”

I’d mentioned before that the mural was done entirely with spray paint, and that this amazed me. You can see that more in these pictures. For more pictures of the finished mural, look here.

About Wade Smith

The Counts Bros. building on 2nd Avenue North in Birmingham, AL is a historic building built around 1917. El Barrio, an upscale Latin restaurant occupies the first floor. I've converted the upstairs into my loft, as well as self-storage units to serve the downtown loft dwellers and businesses.
