They make me smile each time. My friend, artist and performer Steffon Moody, painted them last May, free hand and in six hours (time lapse video). Aren’t they wonderful? The building will shortly be torn down to make room for a new art center. I will be in mourning but I’m sure he has something else artistic and wonderful up his sleeve.
