I was able to check out two completely different new walls this past weekend in Baltimore.
The first is a humongous mural in Fells Point by Nelson Rivas aka Cekis. Cekis was born
in 1976 in Santiago, Chile but now lives in Brooklyn. I especially liked the way he painted
the boy holding the lantern by incorporating the existing light on the side of the building.
The other wall by Rams, Doke, Soviet and Arek was freshly spray painted in SoWeBo in the
past couple of weeks. Wish I’d been there to document the production. It’s bold and colorful
and adds a lot to the neighborhood. Unfortunately I can’t quite make out what it says. Can
anyone help?
