Murals being made, part 25: Osiris space mission

From time to time, I catch mural painters in the act. Thanks to a tip from Michael Schwartz of the Tucson Arts Brigade, I caught one of the Saturday painting sessions — November 22nd — on the west wall of the UA’s Drake Building for a new mural commemorating the Osiris space mission:

It's just around the corner from the Mars mural on the south wall:

We have a lot more photos of the Mars mural in our May 12, 2008 entry.

Here's the finished mural on January 9th:

The mural got a lot of press:

• A January 22nd article in the Arizona Daily Star, Artists explore asteroid
• The January 22nd story Massive mural unveiled honoring UA scientists' historic mission on KGUN 9 TV.
• And Tucson Weekly on January 23rd: OSIRIS-REx Space Mission Gets a Super-Cool Mural

Too bad more murals don't get this much attention!

Thanks as always, BG!
