For nearly two decades I’ve watched an anonymous group of painters create 150 foot movie poster murals on the side of the building. I’ve always wondered how they construct the image and what it might look like from up close while it’s being put together. It’s one of the only places where advertising is still painted — it’s an original work and it changes up about once every six weeks. I even joked that one day I would sit outside the building all day and wait for the crew to come out. Fortunately, I didn’t have to resort to stalking.

This is How You Paint a 150 Foot Tall Batman
by Irene Gallo

315 Park Avenue South is exactly halfway between my apartment and the Tor offices. For nearly two decades I’ve watched an anonymous group of painters create 150 foot movie poster murals on the side of the building.

I’ve always wondered how they construct the image and what it might look like from up close while it’s being put together. It’s one of the only places where advertising is still painted — it’s an original work and it changes up about once every six weeks. I even joked that one day I would sit outside the building all day and wait for the crew to come out.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to resort to stalking. As luck would have it, I ran into Dan Cohen, one of the principle painters at Art FX Murals, at the Illustration Master Class, who was able to fill me in on the process of how one paints a huge Batman (or a huge anything) on the side of a building.

artchipel: Tumblr Artist From The Lenz | on Tumblr (USA) - Neon Luminance From The Lenz is a group of artists based in San Francisco, founded by Sean Lenz, Kristoffer Abildgaard and other artists with the common goal of creating things that move, feel and inspire the soul. In their latest projet Neon Luminance, the duo dropped high-powered Cyalume glow sticks into Northern California waterfalls and used long exposures to capture the submerged trails. To accomplish some of the more complicated shots they strung several sticks together at once to create different patterns of illumination. Please visit their website or Tumblr for upcoming works.
