Their signature garden is on the roof of this building, thus FOOD ROOF. However the obscure location coupled with an anonymous looking building made it almost impossible for people to find them. The directors had seen the mural we painted for St Louis Style House (also in this decade) and felt that we could create a unique mural that would give them the exposure they needed, and provide visual nourishment for the surrounding community. It has already become a landmark.

Louis (in progress) Urban Harvest, StL hopes to raise additional funds so we can continue the mural theme around the corner onto the long, west-facing wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568326341219-61LNER6OMM80XY9SU5NT/IMG_8558.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019, ST. Louis (in progress) The mural was designed so that volunteers, under Robert Fishbone’s direction, could help with significant prep work, as well as base out the different color areas. Liza Fishbone then joined her father to add all of the shading and more complex elements to the mural. These volunteers are from Wells Fargo, which also contributed to the cost of the project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568326507264-EAH1HNS4I6U0274YPN35/IMG_8902.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019 St. Louis We always work from a full color design, which invariably goes through changes as we translate a small printed picture into a huge, painted mural seen in changing lighting. It is important that the public gets to see the process, including all the tools we use…they see that not only is there magic, there is a LOT of hard work! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568326392157-7XR0L8MHDYLPE2N6IVDI/IMG_9027.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019 St. Louis No, were not fishing! We added ‘pollen bubbles’ as an additional design element to create a sense of movement and whimsy. To properly place them we dangled samples in various spots until the person on the ground yelled, “Hold it right there!”, and took a picture. We then painted them on the wall, with shadows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568326404112-SDNYV9FF5D1FOELUFQ2Y/IMG_9036.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019 St. Louis (finished detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568326542205-Y34QLVB4LR4IVU5H7TJP/IMG_9067.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019 St. Louis (finished detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568327735064-4KFFQO808COV9U49WVML/IMG_9057.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019 St. Louis (finished detail) These elements were based on architectural details from a nearby building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568327744068-VS5GTKVASL01OGUQCQDV/IMG_9069.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019 St. Louis (finished detail) We added more dimension by painting it to look like the building had been ‘cut away’. Shading and shadows help maintain the effect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568330250815-DSO0YRPD09JUEWGGWWNW/IMG_8957.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019 St. Louis (finished detail) This element was also based on an architectural detail from a nearby building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568326645255-DHMQ5SAD1URLNFCUUXL0/IMG_9083.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019, St. Louis (finished detail) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568330585944-2QNDOW3M7JT74SPKH6HP/IMG_8948.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019 St. Louis (finished detail) The window underneath was eventually repaired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568326920002-B1SYYIE4QI5GEGJI20TK/IMG_9095.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019 St. Louis (finished detail) This is actually the logo for our last name, ‘Fishbone’. We integrate it into all of our murals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568326922274-RO9J9TYQTJ15X16MWLP1/IMG_9089.jpg 2010s - FOOD ROOF, 2019 St. Louis (finished detail) Pollen bubbles emerging from a California Poppy, one of the plants grown on the roof to attract pollinators. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567293121283-638DGH8U86DOJGBE1FXE/The+Wall.jpg 2010s - Nothing Impossible, 2018, St. Louis, (before) Jeff and Randy Vine, the owners of St. Louis Style House, had been longtime fans of our mural work and had often dreamed of having a mural on their building to help both identify their own business, and also the western entrance to the very popular Cherokee District. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568299805629-9FJ1X68NG3WHBI0DC9LH/NothingImpossible.jpg 2010s - Nothing Impossible, 2018, (finished) The Vines have been amazing cheerleaders for St. Louis neighborhoods. We also noted that they are fascinated with all things 1970’s. So we developed a vibrant design that incorporated St. Louis architectural elements, and behind them have expanding ‘doughnuts’ in a 70’s color palette, framing a giant disco ball…of course! It has become a very popular spot for selfies.

From seemingly endless containers of colors, to the physicality needed, to our shadows cast on the wall, it is a never-ending adventure that carries from project to project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1531970597889-8FSCDUFCW17CRNDM21UK/66+Reasons_Stl_2015.JPG 2010s - 66 Reasons too Love St. Louis, 2015, St. Louis This mural is a gift to the city from Phillips 66 and is located on the western-facing wall of KDHX at 3524 Washington Ave in the Grand Center Arts District.. After 20 artists auditioned, we were selected to design and paint the mural. In fact this project is what got Liza and I working together, and officially launched us as Team Fishbone. The list of the 66 Reasons to Love St. Louis contains many places unfamiliar to most St. Louisians and will take you all over the city and county. As the mural has to do with exploration, we chose to have an actual, 18th century French Voyageur padding through the waters that identify this part of the country. His canoe is churning up the river in front of him, and unveiling the future, which is our present.

This picture is taken from a nearby park where the sponsor placed high powered binoculars so you can closely inspect, and look for the 66 Reasons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570026679103-WPXTDW1N7G0T9QE4NY3Y/Friday+8%3A21.JPG 2010s - 66 Reasons too Love St. Louis, 2015, St. Louis (in progress) Bit by bit the mural seems to emerge from the wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568327753218-UQFIF3CYS2LJH79KJZ3K/IMG_0586.jpg 2010s - 66 Reasons too Love St. Louis, 2015, St. Louis (in progress) We used Spider hanging staging to do our painting. It was by far the easiest way to reach the entire wall. Having two units meant that Liza and I could either work together or separately. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568327759423-NMRD6WO85BYYKQUACA65/IMG_0812.jpg 2010s - 66 Reasons too Love St. Louis, 2015, St. Louis (in progress) Lots and lots of colors were used on this mural. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570027010188-M3VBMJ17S9EG7V6B2HVB/IMG_5949.JPG 2010s - Splash, 2016, St. Louis (before) A wall in need of help at Jefferson and Cherokee in the midst of the Cherokee District. I applied for and received an Artist Support Grant from the Regional Arts Commission to facilitate a workshop, “The Art and Business of Mural Making”. Not only did we design and paint a large, complicated mural as part of the class, we also had lawyers and accountants explain what it really entails to be in business. And though they may not think this way, ALL artists are in business. There were 7 artists in the workshop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567213575940-6OVGMMJSLSZWQODMCUFL/Splash+done+copy.JPG 2010s - Splash, 2016, St. Louis (finished) The design came about after weekend of brainstorming. We decided to play with the dimensionality of the wall and weave a graffiti like graphic through the entire composition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570027389253-XKN8ZEY9OQ2XVFKD8FYH/IMG_6112.jpg 2010s - Splash, 2016, St. Louis (in progress) Whenever possible we use projections at night to draw the design, which is based on a full color rendering. Then we assigned tasks to the different members and started painting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570027366202-6GM5YYLOXJA8L4PRNMD6/IMG_6109.jpg 2010s - Splash, 2016, St. Louis (in progress) We needed to match the painted brinks (on the right) with the actual bricks on the front of the building (on the left). But then we grouped painted bricks together as large blocks of stone. The texture is achieved by using sponges and many colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570027517690-QH81I6SXP95UJJFKDZYK/IMG_6130.jpg 2010s - Splash, 2016, St. Louis (in proress) Working together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570026929875-R84OQ35VNVWGBT8OTABM/image4.jpeg 2010s - Splash, 2016, St. Louis (finished detail) This angled shot helps to show the 3-D quality of the ‘stone’. The cutaway view also helps with the illusion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1531966335691-CWUSVYQGUTQVADBRM5NG/IMG_3717.JPG 2010s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570028363690-N67DYRB5MBS8319ECD8G/IMG_9160.jpg 2010s - Alaris Litigation Services, interior, 2018, St. Louis (before) The client at first imagined a smallish mural to take the place of the tapestry hanging on the front of the elevator shaft on the second floor. We however suggested she let us design for the entire elevator shaft, on both floors. We saw it as a single, 3-D surface…she loved the idea. Their goal was to have something inspiring and beautiful, that would help to relax clients as they entered the building…the finished piece has been embraced by clients and employees alike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568299862190-L0GH8NF24WS2B7KYX07K/Alaris_1.JPG 2010s - Alaris Litigation Services, interior, 2018, St. Louis (finished detail) Seen from the second floor atrium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570028513118-88VH2677SM4A7XEAS3V1/IMG_0125.jpg 2010s - Litigation Services, interior, 2018, St. Louis (finished detail) Looking up trough the atrium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570028479495-MW92LTH5DZJL6UX70AHG/IMG_9166.jpg 2010s - Litigation Services, interior, 2018, St. Louis (before) Second floor, before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570028529915-DMZKH0YHC47296C1Q6IG/IMG_0133.jpg 2010s - Litigation Services, interior, 2018, St. Louis (finished detail) Second floor, finished detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568299868536-797ZLZNFK9635WXIQJNJ/Alaris_3.JPG 2010s - Litigation Services, interior, 2018, St. Louis (finished detail) First floor, what you see when you enter the building.

on brick and cement, 72 shades of gray in 1200 squares, 30’ x 40’ Realizing that murals can be seen from a variety of distances and locations, we began to explore ways of rendering and image that would appear to change over distance. Working with engineers who were looking at early versions of the Bell Picturephone , we collaborated with Ed Manning who provided us with a spatially quantized image of one of the most iconic pictures of Charles Lindberg. This was all precomputer. Taking two years to realize and paint, it quickly became a much visited, and well loved landmark in the downtown cityscape. Then in 1981 the mural came dow to much protest, the result of urban transformation. In 1985 I was commissioned to recreate it for St. Louis Center, to look like it had been cut out of the building and saved, though at a reduced size. Then in 2012, again due to redesign, I cut it out of the wall and put in storage. In 2013 it was acquired by the Missouri History Society / Museum, to be installed in a different form as a focus of a new permanent gallery to open in 20203 /2024.

This resulted in 144 distinct values which we knew was way excessive; we reduced it to half that many. We’d still need 72 different shades of gray paint. One of the sponsors, Spatz Vane-Calvert Paint company made the paints for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568241626514-RU4J2P0BG5U2FVF6R5I9/dia_0087.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis Most walls for murals need a lot of prep. Here we are removing the old lights that were used to illuminate a long gone ad. We needed to do this so we could roll our hanging staging up and down the wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568243057883-226Z61QLNDHFAF8LDZLD/dia_0174.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis Near the top of the wall, beginning to scrape off old, loose paint.

Since this was the basis of the mural, it needed to be done perfectly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568243058509-HK5Z9T7MHF2NJ8B5KSFL/dia_0185.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis Once the squares were laid out they needed to be correctly numbered for each of the 72 shades. After we painted a small canvas to make sure it all looked correct, we saw that it didn't ! It seemed too light in places. So we skewed the values towards the dark end of our spectrum, and it looked just right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568241296887-59B6F6WRZZTINHPICIJV/dia_0086.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis This shows about half of our shades of gray, with the numbers changed once we adjusted them towards the dark side. It was almost impossible to see the difference between any two adjacent shades. Numbering was the only way we could be assured that they would go in the correct square. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568241764535-6GYJZNC6XTP93D9ZEIC0/dia_0161.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis All 72 shades lined up. There is an added value to engaging the public, so we would hang signs on our scaffold like, “Guess What?”, and then, “Guess Who?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568243058993-PQCDGW1YNB61MXAVA9YN/dia_0188.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis Susan Horowitz, a friend and accomplished mural artist, joined us for a lot of this project. Her assistance was invaluable. Here she is contemplating another long day of paint-by-number. So, after two long years of figuring this all out, getting permissions and raising the funds, the painting was a breeze! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568243074060-II79B0NFV2YXZAO89Q96/dia_0191.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis Painting the squares. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568243074104-TVFHLA7XK5Y4EOHTN3C0/dia_0192.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis Painting more squares. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568243080250-XLZ85E2E89800HR3EVUM/dia_0196.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis And painting even more squares!

A huge festival was planned, and our mural became the public symbol of both his flight and the event. We sold t-shirts at the big parade and the air show under the Arch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567212489589-XSINERJ2M6RV7B6IMORB/5-Lindy+about+to+Die.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis Acrylic on brick and cement, 72 shades of gray in 1200 squares, 30’ x 40’ In 1980 it was announced that the entire block including the Lion Gas Building, hosting our mural, was going to be razed for a new SW Bell Corporate Headquarters. After a very public, and ultimately unsuccessful protest to somehow save Lindy Squared, the mural came down in 1981. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568303671975-LCW33R99EQCX34MX6WJN/IMG_2881.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis Of course, we had to have a party to celebrate the life of this well loved, public art piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567307055087-OW82PKWCY1MPKU55WT7H/Lindy+from+Bell.JPG Lindy Squared https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567309043587-JE6EV8O3NY4GE3B7Z49S/dia_0217.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 / 1985 / 2023, St. Louis The day of the event saw a LOT of well wishers come to witness the first few whacks of the headache ball.

I accepted the commission. this picture is a detail of a poster that was made for the occasion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567308845125-21TNR7SKLGXFW69N8NC8/dia_0237.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared II at St. Louis Center, 1985 (in progress) Acrylic on plaster and rigid board foam, 13’ x 17’, 1200 squares in 72 shades of gray paint. I build a faux-wall, a sculpture really, out of several kinds of rigid board foam, and then distressed the surface with plaster to make it look like the original 80 year old wall. On the first night of painting we had a party with friends who got to fill in squares down at ground level. We were able to use the original paints which I had safely stored…kind of amazing actually. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568241056317-GUWLP7P4VK87FI4T3JYG/dia_0240+copy.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared II at St. Louis Center, 1985 (in progress) Acrylic on plaster and rigid board foam, 13’ x 17’, 1200 squares in 72 shades of gray paint. I had four assistants who helped to paint in the 1200 squares. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567309157805-WLO745B1RWLEK183L4IW/dia_0242.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared II at St. Louis Center, 1985, (finished) Acrylic on plaster and rigid board foam, 13’ x 17’, 1200 squares in 72 shades of gray paint There was a picture to the right of the piece showing the original Lindy Squared in its downtown setting. On the other side (not seen here) was a plaque talking about Lindbergh’s solo, trans-Atlantic, solo flight, as well as how the mural came to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567309235991-FGMW5QCTH2I3R9HY858A/IMG_5598.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared II at St. Louis Center, 1985 Acrylic on plaster and rigid board foam, 13’ x 17’, 1200 squares in 72 shades of gray paint. In 2012, after being on display for 27 years, St. Louis Center was being remodeled and Lindy Squared was not part of the plan. We then asked, and they gave us permission to literally cut it out of the wall so we could put it in storage for who knows what! They also gave back any rights that they may have had in the piece, so we could do whatever we wanted with it. Because of how well the sculpted wall had been affixed to the drywall underneath, we had to cut through everything, metal studs and all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567309278900-FDNXND07LTOB7I44BJOZ/IMG_5627.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared II at St. Louis Center, 1985 (taken down in 2012) Acrylic on plaster and rigid board foam, 13’ x 17’, 1200 squares in 72 shades of gray paint With the help of my son Tyler and two construction workers, we were able to safely cut out and remove Lindy Squared II, in four horizontal pieces. A few days later with the help of several really strong guys, we moved them through a tunnel, then wheeled them down three levels of a parking garage to our truck. We then placed them in our own storage locker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567309341566-QPHJSNCQNUQELOV1G8OW/Lindy+stolen+copy.JPG Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared II fragment from St. Louis Center In 2013, the Missouri History Museum (now the Missouri History Society) was interested in acquiring the piece for some as yet unknown exhibit. As they already maintained our extensive mural files in their archives (7,000 color slides, original designs, letters, contracts, press clippings) they felt it made sense to also store this significant artwork, even in pieces. Here you see MHS curators unloading it into their warehouse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567311569692-3PY57NLIDDU5P2BVV7H1/IMG_1133.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared II fragment from St. Louis Center Acrylic on plaster and rigid board foam, 13’ x 17’, 1200 squares in 72 shades of gray paint In 2018 I received an Artist Support Grant from the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission to study the feasibility of resurrecting Lindy Squared II for a new permanent gallery at the MHS. This picture shows the six curators from the MHS who I am working with discussing options. We actually came up with a concept that departs from merely putting the piece back together. The new design will combine the ‘eye’ section with a large digital display, a diorama of downtown St. Louis, cabinets with relics, and photo/video displays. In addition they want to develop an App and an augmented reality (AR) complement. The gallery is set to open in 2023/2024. Stay tuned for the never-ending-mural! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567186085087-PTYYRMILCFSRHKMJXHT4/1-Lindy+Squared+from+STS+copy+2.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared page from my book 'Selling the Scream', 2009 In this picture you can see a synopsis of painting the original Lindy Squared mural on the old Lion Gas Building in 1977. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567186407292-TMTZIS3LKF7978QV5SYT/Lindy+w+arch+fin.jpg Lindy Squared - Lindy Squared, 1977 Located in downtown St. Louis, MO Acrylic on brick and cement, 30' x 40' 1200 squares in 72 shades of gray paint Pre-computer, pixilated portrait A BiCentennial project sponsored by the US Paint Industry https://www.onthewallmurals.com/weite daily 0.75 2019-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1531970677408-P0JH4OKEVVY4HIFORKRG/the+great+u+city+art+toss_stl_1990.jpg 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1531970677408-P0JH4OKEVVY4HIFORKRG/the+great+u+city+art+toss_stl_1990.jpg 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1570110260948-XUGTRENRCGC9TG7B8QMQ/webster_stl_1994.jpg 1990s - Webster Park, 1994, Webster Groves, MO Acrylic on cement block, 120’ x 15’ Pioneer Bank in historic Webster Groves built a new branch which was bordered by an annoying blank wall.

Some were on temporary construction walls, some were to acknowledge the good works of the staff. For Mental Illness Awareness Week, we created a design for a billboard that employees and staff at Barnes could paint on the ground…they did and LOVED IT! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567213244429-6M3PXFN0YLUV2TZ943Y5/Billboard+fini+on+ground.jpg 1990s - Paint a Different Picture of Mental Illness, 1996, St. Louis Billboard panels completed after being painted by staff and employees of Barnes Hospital, before installation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567213161217-YZ77A5AIQF6TWN2QS72K/Barnes+board+fini.jpg 1990s - Paint a Different Picture of Mental Illness, 1996, St. Louis Here is the reassembled billboard, lit up at night along one of the three major highways that pass through St. Louis…it was well received. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567213264330-AAMSW85VE2UCFMSOQS49/Laumeier++3+women.jpg 1990s - Laumeier Sculpture Park 15th Anniversary, 1990, St. Louis Laumeier Sculpture Park comprises 96 acres of open and wooded land, and is the site of numerous contemporary sculptures, most permanent, some temporary.

We built a stack of 30 cardboard boxes, and painted a different sculpture from the park on three sides, and a whimsical birthday cake on the fourth side.

There were five large canvas’s painted in a WPOA style, like from the 1930’s. It was very challenging as we also had to texturize the canvas before applying the paint, which of course made painting harder. All that said, they turned out great, both the artist and client were thrilled…us too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567213232087-I863OZZ2U7YYCS946EHB/6-Willert-1+copy.jpg 1990s - Willert Home Products, 1996-2006, St. Louis Acrylic on brick and cement, multiple buildings over a ten year period Willert Home Products is a consumer products company with an extensive campus in the city of St. Louis. Though the buildings are used for manufacturing and storage, and offices, the owner takes great pride in his properties, and is a great corporate neighbor. As such, he commissioned us in 1996 to paint his Luna Moth logo on the building on the left in the picture. The design we presented him with was way beyond what he imagined and inspired him to continue commissioning works for six other outdoor walls, as well as two interior walls. They all have themes of tropical flora and fauna. He further embellished the properties with beautiful plantings and stone sculptures from Asia. He does this all because he wants his place to look nice! In 2017 the owner rehired us to restore all of the murals due to water damage and fading. We will finish in 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571255315101-QLGHZET6KD4OSW8TLGGF/Moth+Bldg+B%3AW+color.jpg 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571254841269-0N0I9G1B76KU17P3JOQJ/Willert-frog%26bunnies-ex+copy.jpg 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571254866544-57LH1N5XUQZQC6ZO5B0T/105-0546_IMG+copy.JPG 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571255037646-TLWUY8C10NMHY0FUU24T/105-0537_IMG.JPG 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571255066716-D0ZWZFTKRXAG194MA586/110-1024_IMG.JPG 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571255104148-GIY2Y3GUV6CK0Q9PWJYP/110-1033_IMG.JPG 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571255116171-6U2RBHK6MI8SMHT18D9W/110-1034_IMG.JPG 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571255234545-QK19MCO33NSSBTEU52QU/A-MG_1904-72.jpg 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571255242367-H02S37C74OEQ6QB51HL9/B-IMG_1879.JPG 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571255670388-2LCE9NUNCRHYWKXRW3XI/Willert-hangar-1.jpg 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571255265456-ZTUZ6RV8ZNYY5XAZGFXD/D-IMG_1908-72jpg.jpg 1990s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571259624851-90LVAAY45E30CSIQ1YEM/Train+copy.jpeg 1990s https://www.onthewallmurals.com/nacht daily 0.75 2020-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567214640144-3MW9IITD9II551J1T61C/1-Lindy+Squared%2C+1977-81+copy+2.jpg 1970s - Lindy Squared, 1977, 1985, 2023 Acrylic on brick and cement, 30’ x 40’. 1200 squares painted in 72 shades of gray, seen as an abstract matrix close up, it resolved into a continuous-tone photograph from far away.

Faced with a 6,000 square foot wall and a limited budget, we chose to render as a solid color graphic, a wind swept tree, which leaves transform to become swooping birds. The long ribbons of color help to link it all together. When faced with a giant wall, simple sometimes works best. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567188379637-BCEI7FXR823DMLKF8TXF/wall%2Bof%2Bmeditation_stl_1976.jpg 1970s - The Wall of Meditation, 1976, St. Louis One Shot Bulletin Sign Painters Paint (never ever use oil paints for a mural!!!) 18’ x 30’ In our third year as mural painters, we received a grant from the NEA to do several murals along well traveled roads throughout St. Louis City. The St. Louis Beautification Commission, which we found out were already fans of our work, doubled the project, which mostly meant we would actually get paid for the five murals completed. This mural shows the serenity that can come with aging, and pictures a man sitting on a cutaway hillside. The revealed layers, going from realistic to whimsical, are a metaphor for the depths that can be reached through meditation. On the other hand, some folks said we needed to put a fishing rod in his hands. Different practice, similar goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567186252936-E2VOXSW9J6BTRKZRKXMT/50-Carondelet-Gasless-Sunday-Finished.jpg 1970s - To The Horse trough, 1976, St. Louis Acrylic on brick, six small murals on six separate walls. Part of an NEA grant. We chose to recreate the feel of the area from a time when the still remaining, centrally located horse trough served a functional purpose. This painting depicts gasless Sunday. But people loved their new fangled cars so much, they would pull them around with their horses! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567186265573-JDPEK4ZS4F8XOR997IW0/Horse+Trough+Ice+fin.jpg 1970s - To The Horse trough, 1976, St. Louis Acrylic on brick. Another one of the six small murals painted through an NEA grant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567187005770-VVE94GA4W7T3SGD0F7KI/dia_0038.jpg 1970s - 'Que sera, Seurat?', 1976, St. Louis Mural painters often have to deal with environmental factors like odd building shapes, traffic patterns, windows, chimneys, fences and utility poles, all of which can be seen as problematic. Since our designs are always site specific, we often look for a solution in these problems, let them speak to us. The utility poles were the most prominent blocking feature of this site, and since there is a beautiful Victorian Park nearby they became… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567189266239-60VGQV6P91FMD7XB1XHO/dia_0039.jpg 1970s - 'Que sera, Seurat?', 1976, St. Louis Inspired by the Victorian, Tower Grove Park across the street, we transformed the utility poles into trees, and did a play on Seurat’s, “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte”. However, where Seurat used very tiny dots of paint, our points were several inches across to match the scale of the mural. It became a landmark for this part of St. Louis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567216173882-9M8UQV5RIKK22SCYG66J/dia_0034+copy.jpg 1970s - A South Side Story, 1977, St. Louis Acrylic on drywall, 95’ x 5’ After commissioning us to do an outdoor mural on a nearby building (see ‘Que sera, Seurat’, just previous in this decade), Tower Grove Bank asked us to design and paint an interior mural for the bank depicting the history of the area. In this shot you can see that it is a time lime, which evolves through different painting styles to evoke the feeling of the era, from mid-1800’s through the future! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567216230485-RA02ML746YHYWYHS89A6/cloud+coming.jpg 1970s - A South Side Story, 1977, St. Louis Acrylic on drywall, 95’ x 5’ The mural begins with cloud shapes, done in shades of gray, hazy like foggy memories. These form a tree from which actual historic homes emerge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567216270447-6T5BMJ3KV4AAZQL6KNUA/dotted.jpg 1970s - A South Side Story, 1977, St. Louis Acrylic on drywall, 95’ x 5’ The late 1800’s to early 1900’s focus on the exquisite Tower Grove Park, rendered in a pointillist painting style, popular in that time period. This is the same style we used to paint ‘Que sera, Seurat?’. The two ladies on the bench were long time customers of the bank. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567216317196-PSJWOO5ENVMY0L7QJB3Y/normal.jpg 1970s - A South Side Story, 1977, St. Louis Acrylic on drywall, 95’ x 5’ This section depicts the 1950’s - 1970’s when people began to seriously look at renovating some of the beautiful old homes. This one is transforming before our very eyes! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571260541379-HSPTDYP909ZJK93CNZ0R/TGB+Road.jpg 1970s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567216352205-2PCZSX0HOWXFM7UB885U/warped.jpg 1970s - A South Side Story, 1977, St. Louis Acrylic on drywall, 95’ x 5’ From renovations, we look towards the future which, like the past, is not easy to conjur. To make this section we stood in the street with a very thin and flexible sheet of mylar plastic film, then took pictures of the wavy reflection which included these two kids on a bike. It’s dangerous work being a mural painter! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567189726208-12Y9NFITP4ZBCO4RYJ3N/environmental%252Bresponse_stl_1975.jpg 1970s - Environmental Response, 1975, St. Louis Even way back in 1975 there was an awareness of inner cities being food deserts, and there was a movement to create community gardens. This house was the project headquarters and shows that hard work (in black and white) can yield an explosion of colorful and healthy vegetables. We also did smaller, stenciled murals on walls adjacent to the 30 gardens that were created in vacant lots around the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567189061405-KADHZ5ISPPLY7DZEF3E2/get%2Bthe%2Blead%2Bout_stl_1978.jpg 1970s - Get the Lead Out!, 1977, t. Louis Acrylic on brick, 24’ x 24’ The lead paint that was often used to paint walls and woodwork in older buildings is toxic, especially for young children, It’s sweet taste doesn't help. When a building is torn down, it often reveals the painted, interior walls from the connecting building. In this case, it has exposed a child holding a paint chip while a parent, a landlord, a nurse, a judge and a painter are swooping up the stairs to try and stop the child from eating the paint chip. They are the five groups that need to work together to solve this really scary problem. The mural was completed on the Yeatman Community Health Clinic in north St. Louis, that provides lead paint testing of children. The mural makes it really easy to find the clinic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567186865031-BF5Y5XSM5Y7NRZJA72Q5/dia_0035.jpg 1970s - Echoes of a Winter's Day, 1976, St. Louis In 1974, after just arriving in St. Louis, there was a huge snow storm. I took a picture of two very large, snow covered trees in the park across from our home, somehow knowing it would be used for some piece of art, someday. When doing a mural there are two main factors, the content or theme, and the style. It is the latter that really makes for a unique art piece. Here we see those same two trees repeated, or echoed, three times, with color changes in each layer. It seems to change when seen in different seasons. Completed as part of an NEA grant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567187418464-IBSDKP07OUHGKO2CC4QB/dia_0056.jpg 1970s - Soulard, Where the Past Meets the Future, 1977, St. Louis Directly across the street from this mural site is the very historic, Soulard Farmers Market. Like most urban areas, the ethnic makeup has shifted over the decades, and in this case, two centuries. At the time we designed this mural, the original predominance of Germans and other Central Europeans had come to include African-Americans and Asians; Hispanics arrived after. We chose to depict the past and the present makeup of the area and added some more surreal design elements to this brick wall: animated, painted brick;, 3-D planes with rainbow edges; and neon stars around the metal stars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1571259696853-Y98KOMYVPN1TSEDYZIZB/Soulard+good.jpg 1970s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567187230653-TNLPVINNXQBSCPGE21BO/dia_0045.jpg 1970s - The Wall of Strength, 1976, St. Louis (source picture) When scouting out the nearby neighborhood of a mural site, I never know what I’ll see. It was a very hot day and these kids were cooling off under the spray of an open fire hydrant. When I asked if I could take their picture they all got into posing and voguing for me. This became the basis of the mural (see next picture). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567189205577-UAEYYRI0GF11NFTQCFDB/3-Wall%2Bof%2BStrength%2B1978%2Bcopy.jpg 1970s - The Wall of Strength, 1976, St. Louis Acrylic on brick, 35’ x 15’ This has always been one of my favorite murals. Not only did it cover up a very old and decayed advertisement, it transformed the feel of the corner. Just imagine what it would be like to see people just like yourselves, feeling their courage, pride and power, gracing a public mural. Paid for by the building owner, the building housed a corner church. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567187334870-HJZ0U7ZXSPO669MN9CKI/dia_0051.jpg 1970s - The Emergence of Pride, 1977, St. Louis (in progress shot) As part of our NEA grant, we asked the Creative Coalition, a group of African American artists, if they would like to learn how to design and paint large scale murals…”Yes!” After several days of group designing one of the artists brought in his idea which was a perfect distillation of all of our discussions and sketches. It was painted by about a dozen artists on a well known, community corporation headquarters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567187367817-T51HS5OBVNR6AYH5LGHB/dia_0052.jpg 1970s - The Wall of Strength, 1976, St. Louis The finished mural designed and painted with the Creative Coalition, a group of African-American artists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567190135583-VBXB405UO6ANISUTRUPE/Face%2Bof%2Ba%2B%2Bfin.jpg 1970s - Face of a Nation, 1977, St. Louis As part of our NEA grant we asked the Mid American Indian Cultural Center if they would like murals on their building to help identify the location. We designed for both the front and side. The larger, side facing mural features Wolf Robe, a well known Cheyenne chief. It also depicts the change in living faced by many Native Americans, from open spaces to urban areas. The shading in the clouds shows scenes from daily life, including the Trail of Tears, one of the many forced relocations endured by Native Americans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567188209057-N5HYJ4L92S2SD8U1O6KA/dia_0080.jpg 1970s - Pelicanesis, 1978, Baton Rouge, LA Acrylic on stucco, Whole building We were brought to Baton Rouge to consult on their soon to be launched mural program. We gave presentations and discussed options. While there, they commissioned us on the spot to design and paint a mural on this building. We chose to do a metamorphosis, a popular theme for us. River reflections rise up from the water into a rainbow washed sky to transform into brown pelicans, the state bird, and fly away. Only later did we find out that this building used to be the Grand Old Pelican Furniture Store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567187585591-R8W8O2DA0IYCQBHSFDCK/dia_0058.jpg 1970s - Sky is the Limit, 1979, St. Louis (in progress) Acrylic on Brick and cement, 100’ x 100’, completed with Libby Reuter from Tah Dahs, Unltd. Working with the Union Sarah Economic Development Corporation, they wanted a landmark that would speak to both the day and night life of this centrally located part of St. Louis, as well as its integrated makeup. Because of the massive size we picked large, recognizable elements for the upper portions, and then included 10’ to 15’ tall portraits of actual people who either lived or worked in the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1569897998395-VF36FJOHBMC59120VD7C/Sky+is+the+limitxxsz.jpg 1970s - Sky is the Limit, 1979, St. Louis (in progress) Acrylic on brick and cement, 100’ x 100’, completed with Libby Reuter from Tah Dahs, Unltd. This huge wall had tremendous visibility and added to the landmark status they hoped the mural would achieve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1567188662429-RES5MPV46SGPVSRZAQV5/dia_0059.jpg 1970s - Sky is the Limit, 1979, St. Louis (in progress) Acrylic on Brick and cement, 100’ x 100’, completed with Libby Reuter from Tah Dahs, Unltd.

This meant planning, planning, planning. Forty artists were each given twenty linear feet to paint. Besides refraining from anything inflammatory, the artists could paint whatever they wanted. The only requirement was that it blended into the section to the right. All of the artists were paid a stipend, all materials and food/beverages were provided, and students from Crossroads Middle School acted as gofers.

Their flagship project, FOOD ROOF, was on the roof of a very ananoymus building that no one could ever find. They commissioned us to design a landmark mural that would not only make the building easy to find, but to speak to the need for nourishment, of body mind and spirit. The video was created by our talented friend Calvin Tigre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568324368915-00FZ6GKGW5G7HVRBJ30X/image-asset.jpeg Videos - Urban Harvest Mural, 2019 Urban Harvest, StL manages community gardens throughout St. Louis.

We decided that a very strong visual statement, using a color palette from the 1970’s (their favorite decade), combined with architectural elements from three important St. Louis buildings, would not only define this area of town, but would provide an upbeat feel to what had otherwise been a bland corner. It is now one of the most popular spots for selfies, right under the giant disco ball. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568298738950-952TB861MO6O37CWOJ4Q/image-asset.jpeg Videos - 66 Reasons to Love STL Mural, 2015 In 2015 Liza Fishbone joined with her father, Robert, to become Team Fishbone.

Most upbeat, they also show people wondering , “Why would you such a thing?” The positive and life changing experience of this first mural inspired us to become life-long, public artists.

It quickly became a much visited and much loved landmark. In 1981, after much protest and even contests in the Riverfront Times newspaper for ways to save it, the building was demolished to make way for a new corporate headquarters. This video shows the demolition party with some added time-lapse footage of it being painted, and later days of wrecking. See Lindy Squared under Special Projects for more details pictures and captions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1676663593494-EZR949GNBQZ0NIB3X8VE/image-asset.jpeg Videos - Dogtown, St. Louis Mural Timelapse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1676663644880-ULJL0GA3BEI55YU5EHKW/image-asset.jpeg Videos - Mural Restoration Timelapse https://www.onthewallmurals.com/labyrinth daily 0.75 2019-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568344894370-JM0XGJLE67I9U6WRCQZK/IMG_2708.jpg Labyrinth - Jericho Meditation Labyrinth, 2019, St. Louis, before Yellow Bricks and Marble stones, 40’ in diameter This picture shows site preparation. On the outside grounds of Central Reform Congregation we have a ‘Fitness Course for the Soul’. Each stop along the way is to help create a space to get in touch with different qualities of what makes us spiritual beings living in the world. After two years of planning, I led 30 members of the congregation in building our labyrinth, modeled after the biblical, walled city of Jericho (see following pictures). To keep the entire process sacred, we spent 90 minutes building it in silence: lifting, carrying, passing and placing each of the 800 bricks and stones. Afterwards it was infilled with topsoil and reseeded. It is light and inviting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568344894370-JM0XGJLE67I9U6WRCQZK/IMG_2708.jpg Labyrinth - Jericho Meditation Labyrinth, 2019, St. Louis, before Yellow Bricks and Marble stones, 40’ in diameter This picture shows site preparation.

The amicable friction generated by the difference in their styles unleashed a dynamic from which provoking artworks emerge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/585dad96ebbd1af27cd0129e/1568335708728-LK1GQJN5C8T8Z8FISZFI/IMG_3509.jpg About - Our Approach We create site specific murals that are colorful and captivating. Murals have power. Context matters. We believe that it is our responsibility as public artists to harness that power to design and paint murals that are relevant. Murals that are relevant to a community. It is important to us that the community feels like they can take ownership of the artwork after we leave. https://www.onthewallmurals.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-01-10
