Mr. Bubbles’ famed GIANT LOADS mural had long been a 24th Street icon. But after years of persistent vandalism, the owners covered up the mural will dull, tan paint in 2012 and left the corner of 24th and Florida looking drab.
Finally, after the two year dry spell, a new mural has gone up on their wall. It’s no dancing washing machine (how could you replace such a thing?), but the new work from Jonathan Matas is rad in its own right.

that is actually fairly innovative. great play on scale, line work, figure ground. I’m into it.
Psst, I think it’s Matas, not Batas

Fixed. Thanks!
GIANT LOADS
Well, it’s no Senor Burbujas, but it sure beats the fuck out of a wall of crappy tags.
