Extremely pleased to announce the completion of Kailey Whitman’s (and Revolvd’s) inaugural mural, depicting her beautiful vision of the viaduct in Azavea’s award winning office. Working with Azavea’s mural committee, their executive leadership, designers and outside vendors, this mural represents a hopeful and inclusive moment in @therailpark’s changing history in relation with @springartsphl, @callowhillneighborhood, @eraserhood_blog. Eternal thanks to everyone at Azavea, Kailey, and Pete Shay (#mastersigns) for their ongoing patience and support conceptualizing, reviewing, editing, producing and installing this incredible piece.

Lynch’s Dune, it must be said, has been given a bad rap. I was first introduced to it five years ago, at a time when it seemed the director had retired from filmmaking in favor of his longtime passion for painting and a sideline making bizarro music projects. After watching it I felt no need to put quotation marks around its quality: This was a straight-up Good Movie, blending Lynch touchstones like sinister surrealism and a cast full of wondrous weirdos — including Kyle MacLachlan, Sean Young, Patrick Stewart, Jack Nance, Brad Dourif, Dean Stockwell, Max Von Sydow, Kenneth McMillan, and, gloriously and shirtlessly, Sting — with the expensive look, scope, and ambition of post–Star Wars Hollywood.
