Night Train, Little Five Points, Atlanta, Georgia, 2013

The railroad tracks in this scene seem to spring directly from the painted yellow parking lot lines just below this mural. A train rushes through the night, its approach heralded by what seem to be stylized seagulls fluttering just ahead of it. A swirling moon echoes the three orbs of light that illuminate the flock of birds. I particularly liked the almost seamless transition between the parking lot and the bottom of the mural – it gives us the feeling that the train is about to make a hard left turn, making fantasy into reality.
