“This is my favorite mural it has no name so I call it “Deadman’s Garden”. It depicts a man growing a plant out of his chest cavity.”
“The man is dead with his head covered. The plant, however, has no flower, but a heart is depicted as being the bloom.”

Bill, from BW Thoughts & BW Fiction sent us this fab historical mural. (worth a click for a better look!)
Circa 1870, Mr Pullman built a town so the factory workers in his factory could have clean air, running water, plumbing & good schools for their kids.
He financed the town with bonds & charged the people rent. The company did all the maintenance and kept the houses, landscaping and parks clean & pristine.
Then came a recession. He cut wages. but didn’t cut rents. This started the rail-road strikes. Pullman was reviled, became called despicable & un-American.
Now, over 100 years later, some of these houses are still in use.

Sath is a Spanish artist currently based in Bangkok.
“Con-tenedor. Mallorca (Spain, 2012)”
⭐ I have visited Sath’s Website and am so honored that he has submitted pics of his Street Art to GLaM ⭐
“Binary system. Mallorca (Spain, 2013)”
I find his work to be socially relevant, and with a sense of humor.
