#PublicArtFinder – Rainbow Sunset by Vicki Scuri on the Merriweather Parking Garage in Columbia. I love that it represents the Maryland sunset!

Two wonderful pieces of familiar public art sighted again on my ride out and back on the W&OD.

Ich bin ein Berliner mural in Georgetown, near the start of the Capital Crescent trail. Contrary to popular belief, JFK did not say that he was a jelly donut.

Here are Volkswagens, Boomer! I found this mural in the parking lot of Stohlman dealership at 8433 Leesburg Pike, Tysons, VA 22182.

P.S. I will find and post the bicycle sign later.

Well done, [mention]Serdar [/mention]!! +3 points granted, especially for dragging along a friend in sub-freezing wind-chill conditions… now, if you can only locate the TyCo bike logo mural ……

*** Surprise Bonus Point Opportunity ***

In light of a new era and demilitarization of the Nation’s Capital, it seems only fitting to celebrate the epi-center of #muralsofDC and bring #publicartfinder back to our beloved city.

No one epitomizes DC street art better than “Cool Disco Dan” who perhaps single-handily put DC on the map as a hotspot of graffiti art right up there with London UK and São Paulo Brazil.

Go find and snap a pic of your bike with this Cool [emoji41] Disco Dan mural and snag yourself +5 points.

Disclaimer: +3 points for those of you whom I have taken to see this before!!

I’m posting “too many photos”of this today, but it’s just really nice. Very difficult to capture in just one photo, too.

#PublicArtFinder – Carved Wooden Bench on 714 North Irving Street, Arlington. I believe this one was also done by chainsaw artist Andrew Mallon.

The alley art behind the Philips Gallery. This was one of the stops from Handlebar DC’s alley tour a little while back.

Discovered that there are some more murals in the alley next to Philz Coffee in Adams Morgan, with a couple of them on the garage doors. Here is one that I assume says “End Taxation without Representation”.

#PublicArtFinder – and yet ANOTHER wood carving by Andrew Mallon – another bench. This one is on 3rd St. North, between N. Highland and N. Garfield Streets in the Lyon Park Neighborhood of Arlington. This one features some nice leaves, and a seagull.

Is that a giant lizard on top of it? Creativity gone truly wild…

It looks to me like a godzilla or godzilla rat which would be a giant reptile. Congress better watch out!

#PublicArtFinder

Miserable weather day and the lack of sun does not show this work at it’s best. It’s called “Emerge” and was a collaboration between an artist in residence and students at the nearby elementary school. It’s on the South Reston public art ride.
