Caleb Neelon in Lynn

One of the large murals brought to Lynn Massachusetts by Beyond Walls is one on Munroe Street by Caleb Neelon (with help from Lena McCarthy). It is on the side wall of a building adjacent to a parking lot so it is easy to see but difficult to get a good picture of the whole mural without a wide angle lens. It was painted in 2017.

The mural is full of details! Polka dots, stars, and other little shapes. Also miniature drawings of animals, people, buildings, and much more.

It is a patchwork of shapes in many colours, all stitched carefully together with black thread. It is an artful arrangement of shape, colour, and texture. A series of circles around little fuzzy blue creatures (called Sonik) forms the central core of the mural.
