    This is a beautiful mural that is in downtown Lexington distillery District. I didn't even know it…read morewas here I walked around at the restaurant we were at I turned around and boom there was a big giant mural that took up the entire building very impressive this artist definitely took their time there's no telling how long it took to paint this beautiful mural but it was very pleasant and very colorful and just took a lot of detail

    Of all of the murals in Lexington, this one was the most controversial. It's located on the outside…read moreof one of the outside walls of the an old warehouse in the distillery district. That "old" warehouse is now home of several the James Pepper Distillery District businesses. Specifically the building that is the home of Fusion Brewery and Battle Axes. When it was first painted, back in 2015 there were only two businesses open in the entire district. And as cool as the area is now, I know that this bad ass mural was part of that growth, for the good. So why was it so controversial? You know those kind of people who like to complain about everything, yeah those are who made it controversial. Although it's a self portrait of sorts, in the mural, he's spelling "Mo" with his hands. NOT a gang sign. I'm serious, people were saying that it was going to cause gang related behavior, and encourage graffiti. Now, I wonder what all those naysayers say about it after how far the district has come along in just a few short years. It's literally one of the most booming areas in Lexington. The artist is a Lexingtonian and if you want to see his story, this video is the best version that I've seen or read: https://vimeo.com/111310990 Like many other artists who shared their talent on the side of Lexington building, the project was sponsored by PRHBTN. Every year they host artists from near and far, to create these spectacular, gigantic forms of street art. Art unlike you'll find a collection in no one city, other than in Lexington, KY.
