The mural on the Armstrong/Arlington Building

by Carl Oxley III  &  Dave Moroski 
Both artists work can be seen at Biddle Gallery

 

The project came about when Karen Thomas of Biddle Gallery and Carl Oxley III  were walking back from Frank's pizza after the 3rd Friday in June  As we were passing the building we were saying wouldn't it be cool to put a mural on this like they do in big cities to cover ugly plywood while a building is being worked on. Carl said if someone would pay for the supplies he would do it for free. I contacted DDA Director Lisa Hooper who said yes. Lisa then contacted the building owner for permission. Frank Pettinga a partner with Wyandotte LLC gave us an enthusiastic yes and offered to put the primer coat on.

I knew Dave Moroski was interested in a mural project, so I asked him to help, too.

Within 3 weeks of inception the project was completed. Thanks to Lisa Hooper who was behind it 100% and made this the easiest project I ever worked on. Also, many thanks to Frank Pettinga, and of course, Dave and Carl

Working on the mural Wednesday (until midnight!) and Thursday evening many people walking by stopped to tell us how great it was we were doing this.  People driving by were honking and yelling it looked great.
 

Thanks! Karen Thomas
