Up There

Do you ever look at old buildings with the faded paintings on them and wonder what they looked like in their "heyday"? When all of the ads on buildings were hand-painted and not just some large piece of vinyl that was printed in a shop somewhere? Or wonder who the guys were that painted that 30 story mural on scaffolding with small brushes? Did you know that there are still companies who do that?

Check out this really cool documentary about the art of hand-painted murals. So worth the 12 minutes...at least it was to me...I want to hire these guys to paint the entire ALICO building in downtown Waco and then I could stare at a beautiful painting all day long.
