Monday Mural: liliputian paste-up

Around the corner from this piece is a large wall mural that I'll show at a later date.  What fascinated me more was this small, highly detailed paste-up, only about two feet tall, that covered the bottom corner of the building.  I don't recognize the scene as anything local but love the industrial vibe and the homage to physical labor.  Didn't see a signature.

    I posted a mural recently with miners and have lumber workers coming up in another one. I'm guessing steel in this one? Happy Monday!

    Very nice work - particularly love the angle you have pointed out - "homage to physical labor and industrial vibe". Right on!
    Thanks for hosting Monday Murals!
    Have a Great Week!

    I like this one. THere's a lot to look at here and the style of painting works well for a mural.

    Great artsy mural with nice colors. Looks real good and a bit different of the normal ones.

    I'm going to have to research how these artists do a paste-up. They are interesting and for the most part never disappointing.

    I didn't realize that it was a paste-up at first. I like it!

    Interesting how the artist conveys a sense of movement.
