Gorgeous Galveston garage

I'm on the road from Tucson and the south-central US back to Tucson. From time to time, I post photos of murals outside of Tucson. That's one of them.

It's in Galveston, Texas, just off Texas highway 87 (the road to the Port Bolivar ferry) along an alley between Strand and Mechanic Streets. The edge of the roof has HP Dodge (which, I'm guessing, is the artist's name) and the hashtag #HarlandArt.

On Thursday, it's back to Tucson murals.

Hey, I’m HP Dodge the one who painted the mural along with my grandmother. This was her home when she lived in Galveston. She is a huge fan of Japanese art work. I was originally going to go out and do some street art but my grandmother didn’t want me to get in trouble, so she offered her garage door as an alternative. I knew she loved Japanese art work and I wanted to do something she would enjoy looking at. So that’s how this particular mural came about. The house has been sold to new owners and the mural is sadly gone but the name plate still sits atop of the garage funny enough. Thank you so much for taking a photo and making a post. I will send this to her. I’m currently a full time artist living the dream, painting and creating for a living. Thank you again.
