No, what’s unusual is that this mural is nowhere near either the Woodland Street shop (which is under repairs), much less their temporary headquarters on Elm Hill Pike. Before their Woodland Street store was largely destroyed by the Matornado, it had an enormous graffiti mural on the back. It’s not unusual that Asphalt Beach would sponsor a mural.
All this will start to make sense if you know who the sponsor is – Asphalt Beach Skate Shop. This particular mural has the slogan “Just Roll With It,” and if you look closely, you will realize that the “O” is a giant roller-skate wheel. Hopefully, we will be seeing more murals from her soon. She also has a new mural off Davidson Street that I plan to feature soon.
Here’s a video of her working on the mural back last December. The colorful calligraphy you see here is characteristic of a lot of her work. (Here’s a link to the first one, which has links to the other original fourteen.)įlores is a local illustrator who is just beginning to make murals. This means the project now includes seventeen murals. And now in 2021, there are two more new murals that are part of the project, including this one by Nino C. But of course, a year later, a new mural by Tarabella Aversa became the fifteenth Off the Wall mural. At fourteen murals, it was already the largest mural gallery in Nashville.
There’s a small gravel parking lot right next to the mural.īack in April 2019, I was brave enough to declare that Tess Erlenborn’s mural was the last of the Off the Wall project murals down on Charlotte Avenue. It lies about 150 feet west of the corner of 28th Avenue and Felicia Street. That’s an imaginary address, as this is a back wall of the Abbot West Self Storage complex at 3020 Charlotte Avenue. I would hope we see more, as his style is bold and works well in mural form. There’s a mural honoring Jessi Zazu, as well as a work by Omari Booker honoring his sister.īLK.JHN seems to have only done a few murals, and this appears to be his first in Nashville. This isn’t the only memorial mural in the Off the Wall series. Sadly, his grandmother passed the day before he finished this mural. The painting and the mural are in honor of his grandparents, who would have celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary on March 31. I call the post “68 Years” because that’s how BLK.JHN titled the painting that he made that this mural is based on. Like much of his work, it’s done in a vivid, pop-art style.

This is presumably the first of a series of murals that will go on a long low wall that runs along Felica Street, and it went up back in March. Dempsey has said that she wants to run murals all the way down the 2900 block of Felicia Street, which would have murals wrapping all the way around the block. Flores that went in at the end of 2020 and and one from Tarabella Aversa that went in the previous April. Three new murals have appeared since the end of what I will now call the first phase of the project, including one by Nino C. Well, while there was a hiatus in new murals for about a year, Tinsley Dempsey, the person behind this large outdoor gallery, has since managed to get more walls for the project, more artists, and apparently more funding. Back in April, 2019, I thought I had completed a series on the fourteen (and only fourteen) murals of the Off the Wall project.
