Barbershop advertisement

We were driving home from the supermarket when we happened to catch sight of this mural and another one at a gas station on Capitol Hill. I guess I should have photographed it head on so the hand of the guy on the left would look like it was attached to him, but I couldn’t do that because the gas pumps were in the way.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Incredible! I love how the darker colors correspond with those of the building. ~BV~

A great find. Such detail, and so large a mural on a classic scene.

Amazing how the artist was able to work within the architecture - hopefully he gets free barber services for life!

Evocative mural, very well captured in spite of the gas pumps.

Quite an amazing mural - it's very appealing and fits the building so well. A fine shot of it.

A very clever use of the building, both in terms of composition and advertising. V

Not only an advertisement, but also a cool work of art. Amazes me how the artists can work at that scale.

head on shots can be so flat, but your chosen angle imbues the scene with dynamism befitting the animated discussion in progress...the chimney headed barber to the right is a novel touch..
