Wordless Wednesday : Vergiss Mural on Hotel Lewis, Downtown Tucson
Vergiss Mural on Hotel Lewis, Downtown Tucson
Irish artist Fin DAC did a 3-month tour of the USA, hopping around, painting murals. Yay! Downtown Tucson got his amazing Vergiss mural on the Hotel Lewis. “Vergiss” means “forget” in German; she has “forget me now” inscribed on her arm. You can see her for blocks. It’s like her mesmerizing eyes are staring right at you.

That is a haunting and incredible cool work of art, great photo.
I think the mural is haunting too. That’s one of those things that it’s easy to take a good photo of because it is so striking. Now if only everything was like that!
It’s so cool! Murals are so fascinating!
Wow, that is fabulous. I am a sucker for murals.
Me too! I love that Tucson seems to be jumping with them. Several years ago when I went down there wasn’t any and then suddenly boom, now there’s a lot.
That is an intense mural. Good choice as a post. Your city has a lot of murals…my little town, not so much. There is one by the library, so the next time I’m down there I will snap a pic.
Oh cool, I’ll be looking forward to seeing your town’s mural by the library. We didn’t used to have many but then the city got a grant to do a few and all the publicity has encouraged businesses to copy the trend as they realize it brings in foot traffic.
I really admire graffiti artists- it takes an amazing talent and eye to paint such a large canvas…wow.
I agree. The fact that they can paint on an entire building or jet blows my mind.
Wow, she’s intense. I bet her presence is felt all over the area.
She is very intense. She has a huge impact as your eyes go right to her
At first I thought she was a Mouse-ket-teer (? sp) who went wrong, and those were mickey ears on her head!
Interesting but I personally would not like looking at that out my bedroom window every night!
lol, I hadn’t thought of that (mouseketeer) although after the photograph I did thik of Leia in Star WArs.
The mouse imprinted itself on my young brain!
lol, and here I thought it was Jerry, the cat. I wonder why they never had a cat crew?
Mickey Mouse and cats just wouldn’t be right
lol, i think if it was a cat crew, the show would have a different name. Maybe the Aristocateers? That’s about the only Disney cat movie I can think of where the cats were the good guys too.
Wow, beautiful!❤
I thought the mural was gorgeous too! I love murals.
It’s beautiful. Very beautiful.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
I think it’s stunning too.
Hope you’re having a great feline friday!
