John Ruthven is an American artist known for painting wildlife in the style of James Audubon. Awarded a National Medal of Arts in 2004 and an area resident, ArtWorks honored him by featuring one of his paintings as a mural (Seen below). I also posted about this mural – Martha: The Last Passenger Pigeon.
For BLINK, Foster & Flux (a local animation studio) transformed the mural into a vivid and beautiful story. Enjoy the video showing For the Birds.

Given the murals in Philadelphia, I can see something like this happening there!

Another lovely AFA post about the murals in Cincinnati. Keep them coming for me to recognize when I walk around town. Also thanks for your previous post “Martha: The Last Passenger Pigeon” which led me to watch a Youtube video preview of the devastating 2014 documentary “From Billions to None: The Passenger Pigeon’s Flight to Extinction” by David Mrazek and Joel Greenberg.

I am flabbergasted by the beauty BLINK produces. I would love to see BLINK in Toronto, but we may not have the murals. For sure we have the multitude of Street Art, but murals are a different creature. Winnipeg is ripe and ready for BLINK. OMG, it’s all about murals in Winnipeg.
Fab post, Frank.

Resa,
I know this event would capture your attention. Do you recall my comment back in October when I stated something like “Get to Cincinnati now!” Toronto could do BLINK because it’s more than projecting on murals … and it included new murals (a future post). Heads up: Another BLINK post tonight.

Welcome first-time commenter. That is one of my favorite murals in Cincinnati. The first and only BLINK (several years ago) was a huge success! Here’s another post I did about this mural, so I hope you visit. https://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2015/05/18/on-a-martha/
