The funky is always with us here in Florida; just like the poor in the Bible.
If we can’t stick totem poles, pink flamingos, or plastic flowers in it, we’ll just paint it up real bright. From gorgeous, breathtaking murals painted by truly unbelievable talent, to murals I swear were painted by your four year old, if you drive down a street in Florida and don’t see one, well, you took a wrong turn back there in Georgia.
I think this wall, this artist, are among my top favorites; I’m loving the simplistic cartoony-ness of them. Whoever G. G-Somebody is, wow. Found on the side of ReMax Interactive, Melbourne FL
These marine life murals were found on the side of an oceanfront condo that was undergoing renovations. Not much later when we visited, the murals were covered up! It made me sad. These guys had almost haunting eyes and expressions; perhaps they knew?
Of course we love that he has a drink in his tentacle!
Sometimes a visual is all you need: found on the side of Art Expressions Gallery and Custom Framing in Melbourne FL:
Car washes and artistic creativity? Who knew!
Surf Break Car Wash, Cocoa Beach FL
This is so cool with the real rags hanging out of the not-real tiki hut…. Shiny Bird Car Wash, Cocoa Beach FL
You may remember the crazy, wild and wonderful mural covering the whole building of Endless Summer Tattoo in South Cocoa Beach: (more on South Cocoa Beach, here.)
And these last two; I don’t quite understand what the artist is showing us, but really, who needs to know the message when you can just stand there and bask in the awe-inspiring talent!
This beautiful woman is two stories tall! Found on the side of Maxine’s Salon and Spa, Melbourne FL
I’ve taken just a tiny sampling to cheer you along on this Funky Florida Friday. It may not be Happy Hour yet, but TGIF my friends, or TGIFFF! Have a great weekend!
