Newest Mural By Eduardo Kobra

When I heard the Brazilian mural artist was here in Chicago, I couldn't wait for him to finish, as I love his bold and bright large scale murals. So I ran out yesterday morning to shoot this. He just finished this one in Wicker Park, Chicago. On top of me wanting to see this mural, I was even happier that is was a portrait of the famous recluse photographer, Vivian Maier of Chicago. This piece to me looks better than I thought it would, simply amazing piece of art.

This is news to me, glad you posted it! I see a lot if his work around town, he also runs some community projects to help artists in poverty.

It's very cool. So the artist gave you permission to sell prints, pillows, totes, etc. of his work?

Yes James, it was just finished. He has another mural in Chicago of Muddy Waters as well.

Have some photos of his work to post . There is one I pass by most days, an 8 ft portrait and a CV, to help the guy get a job. He did get a job the same week Kobra finished the portrait. It is street level and has been vandalised. Others are sides of buildings (10floors plus)

And the guy with the C V , also used to promote employment in the area.

I sent Eduardo Kobra's wife an email and she sent my email to the curator of the gallery who is curator of the mural. They prefer that I don't sell the images, but can post them anywhere I like and let others know it is my photograph with of coarse giving credit to Eduardo like I did.

some may argue about this and say if its in the public, I should be able to do whatever I want with the image, or say that if I change the image in any way, that makes it mine. I actually did change the image in a few ways, including the color, but I respect other artists and there wishes. I respect Eduardo's wishes and wont be selling the images.

I also did a search and found other murals Eduardo did for sale here as prints, but I'm not the police or care what others do. I do and act on my own behalf.

In the end, I'm very happy to post this image and wish Eduardo Kobra the very best.
