This potential father-of-the-year candidate painted a 12-foot long Super Mario Bros. 3 mural on his son’s bedroom wall. Each pixel was painted over a huge grid that the father drew out across the wall. The whole project took about 2 years to complete, but the father admits he slacked for about a year and a half. You can see lots of work-in-progress shots and a full view of the mural here. Thanks for the tip, Dean! 
Jamin Hoyle (aka “Mr. BRANWELLINGTON”) sends in this video of him making two huge Where the Wild Things Are chalk murals at the Arnold DC ad agency in Washington D.C. where he also works. About the murals, Jamin says:
Dig it, I do! Thanks so much for sending this in, Jamin! Excellent work! You should probably wear a dust mask next time. I bet you were blowing chalk boogers for a week. And for those wondering about the song playing in the background, it’s the indie rock anthem “Wake Up” by the legendary Arcade Fire. It’s the same song used in the TV spots for the Where the Wild Things Are movie. It’s an awesome song by a truly awesome band that I highly recommend you check out if you didn’t get around to doing so when their debut album dropped back in 2004. Seriously, get on it, you slowpokes.
Back in early 2007, The College of New Jersey was home to a collection of chalk murals entitled “Thank You for Playing.” The collection featured chalky sprites from classic games like Mega Man, ExciteBike, Bubble Bobble, and Final Fantasy.

This awesomely random mural featuring Animal Crossing, Yoda, and Batman among other things was sent in by loyal Albotian, Don Schwabs aka the dude who did the Scribblenauts Munny.
Thanks a bunch, dude! You should get lost more often so you can find more awesome stuff!
Here’s a cool vid of the artist Phil Lumbang in Silverlake painting his first mural. This guy’s like the Walt Disney of graffiti. [Via Global Graphica]  |
