So here it is. My first "mural" painted at the Tallahassee Mall. In the early '90's Tallahassians everywhere were surprised when the mall constructed a brand new Parisian in the DISTANT parking lot. They built an expansive addition to the mall to connect with this Parisian. Young artists such as myself were supposed to decorate the "under construction" store fronts with our "Greater Gaither Golf and Games" logos. You can see a whole bunch of other paintings promoting racial equality in the background. These pictures were probably taken on an Easter morning judging by mine and Bro Joe's outfits. (We learned years ago, that the mall is deserted Easter morning so you can take some quality family photos on the Easter Bunny's throne.)
Nearly twenty years later and they still haven't filled a fraction of those potential stores. All the big anchor stores have come and gone and the only thing keeping that mall afloat is the AMC 20. The Tallahassee Mall is practically a graveyard. That's probably why it's my favorite.
I believe that my "painting" is currently a Spencer's.
