Part of a mural by Shawn Bullen, Explored on Flickr

Part of a mural by Shawn Bullen, a closeup of a bee

An iPhone snapshot I took of part of Shawn Bullen’s mural on the side of a train overpass in Evanston made it into Flickr’s Explored group ((top 500 images uploaded in a particular 24 hour period))

I am not exactly sure where the mural is, but I think on Elmwood Avenue? Somewhere near Davis and Maple in any case. I suppose I should upload more photos I took of the mural, eventually.

Also, it feels weird that photos of someone else’s art brings me recognition. Shawn Bullen is the dude who painted it, I just framed the bee in my iPhone camera while standing in front of it. I did intentionally include the construction sign (the City of Evanston was doing road repair on this block) to give perspective and scale, but that’s not much.

 

PS I wish I could figure out how to more easily add alt-text to images from Flickr.
