This Saturday Maddie and I participated--along with about thirty or so other volunteers--in the second installation of a piece by Steve's public art group, Art on the Way.
Entitled, "Keep Austin Surreal" this mural was created with colored plastic cups locked into a chain link fence. It is the creation of Austin artist Gary Sweeney, and it is located on South Lamar, attached to the fence between the Bicycle Sports Shop (which is a sponsor of the exhibit) and McDonalds (which is not).
The first ATOW sponsored work, entitled "Barton Barriers" garnered a good bit of attention, due in no small part to a column by 'cranky old man' John Kelso in the Austin American Statesman. It will be interesting to see if this shows up on anyone's radar this week.
Interestingly, after all that, I actually failed to notice it this morning as I was reading and riding to work on the bus!
