Another mural in progress at Surge Billiards in Chicago.

Jackie Gleason reading the paper will be at the opposite end of the long bench.

"Fast" Eddie Felson: "You look beautiful, Fats. Just like a baby ...all pink, and powdered up."

P.S. The muralist does this entirely with spray cans.

Beautiful work. Has the look of the work of a really good sketch artist using a pencil.

I understand it will be some kind of geometric design - don't know more than that.

Newman's portrait is already more detailed than in the pic above - I'll post progress pics as I can get them.

Oh, nice, plan to be back there next week. Kid is home and he only likes to play on 9 foot tables. The ones close to me you have to be 21 because of poker machines.

Hope they are done in a few weeks ??

Kobachi, you coming down too ?

A little progress... Paul looks a little more human.

I guess the muralist is busy.

A really ingenious concept!

Just curious: working with this kind of spray detailing, I'm guessing the artist wears a ventilator mask as he works? I hope so.

I've never actually seen him working, but I assume so - or he really enjoys it. :)
