"Trashed" artwork- my old SHS mural

[neenjah]

Steve Stanley is always saying his work is garbage/trash, well apparently mine collects trash!



Nicki and I went to my nephew's Christmas band concert at our old high school (which is now the middle school) on Tuesday night.



As we were leaving we went past the main staircase and saw that the mural I did when I graduated (1985!) was still up there, and attracting trash. Both of us hadn't been inside the school in years. The mural looks a bit scuffed and scratched at the bottom, but could be easily touched up. I may give them a yell later in the year to see if they would like me to. All the other murals I did and others that came after mine got painted over recently, but that one is still there 23 years later.

Cool, I want to go back to my old schools sometime too. What does your Nephew play?

Trombone. I was amazed at how many band students they had. The middle school band has more members than the high school one did when I went there!

It was cool and strange to go back to the old high school- it was similar enough to feel familiar, and different enough to feel surreal!

I wish I could look back at my own high school artwork with fondness... sigh. I suck so bad. WELL! Back to the practice boards!

I didn't say it was good- just that it's still there!
