Whoot Mural Day 10
Day 10 at the Whoot mural in the community of Avondale on Belmont between the Kennedy Expressway exit ramp and Kedzie Avenue.
I started out focusing on working in more unique patterns in the circles that surround the owl. I’m pushing to get 89 custom circles in the mural to honor the year 1889 the area know as Avondale was annexed to the city of Chicago.
I then spent the remainder of the day and evening working out the final detail in the Owl’s chest, wings and mask.
Had visits with Jaxx and Lex Nakasena and their beautiful little girl, Emily and Ben Taylor and emerging artist Shawn Cassara and his lovely girlfriend.
Getting very close to done on the right side of the mural if only I were a bit more taller
The very talented designer Jax Nakasena stopped by with his lovely daughter to splash some paint

Close up of the some of the circle patterns
Each unique pattern uses the same 6 color palette
There will be 89 circles to honor the year 1889 which is when the Avondale community became part of the City of Chicago
