This becoming a favored city canvas. It was the site of the Matisse Thybulle mural, painted about three years ago. Matisse was later traded, he tagged his mural with a thank you message to fans, then some crumb bum splattered a bunch of white paint over it.
No matter. Garage was planning to paint over the artwork anyway, because Matisse was no longer a Sixer. Jimmy noted that they actually put the Garage logo back on the wall after the Matisse art was covered, but now Glossblack is back and capturing the current Philly sports zeitgeist. Alec Bohm, Brandon Marsh, and I think that’s Bryson Stott on the left, behind the ladder. Looks really cool. Can’t wait to see the final product.
