Hi all ๐๐ป
Today I want to share with you another StreetArt find I discovered while I was exploring the city of #GALWAY in IRELAND ๐ฎ๐ช ๐
I captured this #mural / #artwork on the top side of a #wall on 19 May 2023 when the sun was bright, even though it was cloudy, so it was hard to get a good photo with the sun right behind the roof. ๐
The first #photo will be my #entry into the โCCC's Street Art Contest #149โ hosted by @digi-me
Thank you @trincowski, @heroldius, @melinda010100, @ervin-lemark, @ecency, @tobetada and @arcange and many more for supporting this #contest!
โผ๏ธIf you want to know more about this contest: have a look at @digi-me โs post: CCC's Street Art Contest #149 | 100% Liquid Payout and ecency points as Prize Pool & Winners of #148โผ๏ธ
It tells you the rules and how to enter. Join us! Itโs truly fun around here ๐คฉ
The Photographs in this post I took with my iPhoneโฆ ๐ฑ
Letโs have a look at my StreetArt find for today :
Artist: SUFEK WEST aka Marcus O'Connor
Title: Gilgamesh
Location: โWoodquayโ - #GALWAY #CITY #IRELAND
Work Createdโฆ 2020 when Galway became European Capital of Culture. Also the artists writes: โ it was great to work with the creative group that is @macnas on the promotion of there new release #thelegendofgilgameshโ Source!
You find the Artistโs Instagram here: West Murals
And on the website: West Murals
I took the following 2 photographs while I walked towards the direction of the Mural, as I had seen it while driving byโฆ and now I had parked the car and walked back to it.
Letโs look a bit closer by ๐
Itโs awesomeโฆ I like the shading work.
The artists signature and other details:
On the website of the creative group MACNAS we find a little bit more about the #TALE / #LEGEND OF #GILGAMESH ๐
They state:
This epic tale centres on Gilgamesh, a tyrannical young king who rules the city of Uruk (Galway). Two thirds god, one third man, Gilgamesh is bored, beautiful and obsessed with fame. A cruel and unjust king, he wants to find the secret to immortality, become a God and live forever. The citizens of Uruk cry out to the Gods for help. The Gods listen and create Enkidu, a young warrior sent down from the heavens to rival Gilgamesh and challenge his quest for eternal life.
Do read further on this website itโs very cool ๐
And thatโs all for todays #StreetArt post my friends. Until the next one! ๐๐ป๐
Hope you enjoyed my #photos of this StreetArt find. #haveyoubeenhere
Thank you for looking and reading ๐ ๐๐ป Stay tuned for moreโฆ ๐

The posture and position already indicates the meaning of this art. It shows he is not a king but a worrier who is crowed as one. He does not sit with pride but with caution. All art work always portray a meaning
It does @fredaig ๐๐ป๐ well observed.
I like it when art itself can tell a story, without the need of the artist to tell it.
Thanks for checking out my post.
Have a great week โ๏ธ

This is a beautiful artwork Jackie and the cloudy sky makes up for a cool shot for you. I always wonder when artists paint that high if the erect scaffolding or other elevated platform and how comfortable it is to work painting that high.
I was so happy when I found this one. Itโs a great work. And the cloudy sky did make for some nice photos.
Depends on how heigh it is, some use scaffolding but most use those cherrypickersโฆ mobile little things.
These things: Cherry picker
Very easy to use.
Interesting investment into it, I operated the cherry picker in the past on site a few times, I wonder if I can still operate it now, I might need a refreshing lesson on it. I like the feel of being on it and work ๐
It is indeed an investment. Most artists I knowโฆ rent them for the day or week.
One also needs space to keep that thing.
I never used one, so no idea if I could operate it.
My murals always been only up to 2,5 to 3 meters onlyโฆ just the ground floor.
So I stood on laddersโฆ and sometimesโฆ donโt laughโฆ one piece was a little bit higher. I needed a table. And on the table I put a ladder and climbed on it hahaha ๐คฃ
LOL Jackie that is not safe, the table must have been a strong one to hold up.
I was looking at a satellite dish installer the other day here standing on a chair, I asked myself where the hell is the ladder? ๐
I think my safety training gets to me so when someone is not working safely it doesn't sit well with me.
But that was creative of you a ladder on a table ๐๐ณ
I know Joeโฆ but I was on a time limit, the client I was working for didnโt provide me with proper ladders.
I have a post about the mural I painted. It was a tree of life on the outside wall from a penthouse in Spain. With animals, birdsโฆ you even see the sunset in the windows on evening. ๐
The bottom part I could reach well by standing on the floor. Just the blue part, the sky, clouds and swallows I needed to put the ladder on top of that brown โsturdyโ table you see in the photos.
Here you can see it, think you havenโt seen it yetโฆ itโs been a while ago that I posted it here : Tree of life mural by me.
Normally I work safe, trust me hehehe ๐คญ the way down wasnโt that farโฆ
One needs to think fast sometimes Joe ๐๐ป๐ especially working out in a strange environment for clients I didnโt know back then (yetโฆ they became friends later)
Shame Jackie that was heartbreaking even now that I was reading it, having to paint over your work and later found out the entire mural was painted over is saddening. I know some complexes don't want things on walls, I wish your client knew.
But he seems nice to have offered you a second shot at painting his other house.
Nice painting by the way considering that was your first, you were creative at it with the creatures...
that is awesome
Cheers @grindle it was a great find.

Wow this #StreetArt is amazing, gigantic and with a lot of details. It made me want to go out in search of some here in Buenos Aires. Great photos my friend. Have a nice start of the week ๐คโค๏ธ
