Lil Peep < Back HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GUS Overview Service Public Art industry Entertainment markets New York Wall(s) 1 Wall impressions 1.6 M+ Lil Peep, Gustav Elijah Åhr, revered as "the future of emo," significantly impacted the music scene before his untimely passing. To honor his legacy, Lil Peep's family collaborated with Overall Murals to hand paint the second annual commemorative mural in Bushwick, NY , a thriving neighborhood deeply resonating with Lil Peep's fanbase and artistic sensibilities. In a touching tribute, Lil Peep's mother and brother selected a specific photograph of Lil Peep to be transformed into a hand painted mural, following the tradition of using painted murals to honor loved ones. Grief and memorial murals have a rich history, especially in the vibrant backdrop of New York City . These poignant tributes don't stick to conventional locations; they pop up unexpectedly, adorning places from handball courts to the side of a bank. They often surface during pivotal moments like 9/11 or periods of heightened violence. Beyond commemorating challenging times, these murals also stand as vibrant memorials for fallen heroes and changemakers. These murals educate people about the person depicted and allow loved ones and the public to mourn and express their grief. Lil Peep's family played an integral role in the mural's creation, visiting the site to engage with the painters and witness the hand painting process unfold. Not only was their role in creating the design for the mural a personal touch, but their presence during its creation added a heartfelt dimension. Once the mural was completed, Lil Peep's mother and brother posed proudly in front of the finished artwork, sharing the emotional moment with their followers and Lil Peep's fans on social media. The mural, portraying Lil Peep's chosen photograph, was completed before his birthday on November 1st with the words “Happy Birthday, Gus” in his signature font hand painted across the wall. The completed mural became a gathering spot adjacent to a pop-up shop where the family arranged to sell his albums and memorabilia. It served as a poignant meeting point for fans to pay tribute, share memories, and capture moments in front of the wall, further preserving Lil Peep's enduring legacy. Overall Murals' collaboration with Lil Peep's family to create the Bushwick mural is a touching tribute to the late rapper's lasting impact. 196K people passed the mural monthly and off the wall, over 1.4 million fans liked it on social media. Hand painted murals traditionally play an emotive tribute, uniting communities and immortalizing the memory of influential figures like Lil Peep within the neighborhoods that hold them dear.

Sony < Back BAD BOYS 4 Overview Service Outdoor Advertising, Special FX industry Entertainment markets Los Angeles Wall(s) 1 Wall impressions 500K+ The Bad Boys franchise, starring the formidable duo of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, has been a commercial success since its inception in 1995. The first film introduced audiences to the Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, setting the stage for the sequels Bad Boys II in 2003 and Bad Boys for Life in 2020. The franchise's winning formula of dynamic chemistry and action-packed adventures has made it a staple in action-comedy cinema, setting high expectations for the upcoming Bad Boys 4 . Recognizing the need to make a bold statement, Sony decided to elevate our traditional hand painted advertising murals. Instead, they requested we incorporate glow-in-the-dark elements to create a striking visual effect that would be captivating both day and night. The mural depicted Smith and Lawrence in their roles as Lowrey and Burnett, set against a black backdrop with large, vibrant, and colorful fluorescent letters, filled with scenes from the film, spelling out BAD BOYS. To achieve this effect, our walldogs worked tirelessly into the night, bringing the artwork to life and ensuring the bright colors would punch at night. They utilized orange, green, and pink fluorescent colors to highlight the backdrop. Some areas were further enhanced with specialty UV paints. In contrast, sections that did not receive neon and translucent paint treatments were intentionally left darker, starkly contrasting the glowing elements. The mural was painted on our LA-08 Unit, which is equipped with new lighting fixtures and is located on Venice's iconic Windward Ave. between Pacific Ave. and Speedway in Venice Beach . An area known for its quirky atmosphere, amidst street performers, great nightlife spots like Townhouse and Winston House, and attractions such as the Venice Electric Light Parade , makes this wallscape a perfect location for a glow-in-the-dark mural. Our team of skilled painters worked through the week and found themselves becoming main characters for beachgoers, tourists, and anyone looking to observe the painting's magic in real-time and add some awesome content to their social media feeds. The mural drew significant attention, transforming an already impressive art piece into a dazzling display. Passersby were especially in awe of the actors’ painted portraits and frequently stopped to take photos and share them online, effectively amplifying the campaign's reach. From the mural's creation to its final product, more than 500,000 individuals interacted with the artwork, using their phones to document and share their experiences. This encouraged them and their followers to head to their local theater to catch the latest Bad Boys film! See it in action on our Instagram . Previous Next

Nike < Back WINNING ISN'T FOR EVERYONE Overview Service Outdoor Advertising industry Apparel & Accessories markets Los Angeles Wall(s) 1 Wall impressions 2M+ In the 2018 U.S. Open final match against Naomi Osaka, Serena Williams had a heated exchange with the umpire and smashed her tennis racket in frustration. Similarly, Kobe Bryant's strong desire to win and aversion to losing often led to him hogging the ball, affecting his relationships with teammates. While some people see these actions as unsportsmanlike, they exemplify the intense drive required to be an elite athlete. Nike's latest Olympics 2024 campaign, "Winning Isn't For Everyone," emphasizes that achieving greatness means defeating the competition, which demands an emotional drive to win and often leaves little room for niceties. That bold statement captures the essence of some of the greatest athletes, including the great Kobe Bryant . This campaign pays tribute to Bryant's relentless work ethic, undying competitive spirit, and philosophy that true success is reserved for those willing to put in the work, the time, and the effort. Through this campaign, Nike encourages athletes to push beyond their limits, embracing the journey of striving for greatness. We had the incredible opportunity to partner with Nike to hand paint a mural embodying the campaign's powerful message. Located in the WeHo/Fairfax area of Los Angeles , this 2,175-square-foot wrap-around mural is a tribute to Kobe Bryant's legacy and a visual representation of Nike's message. The mural features the iconic Kobe Bryant and prominently displays the campaign's tagline, "Winning Isn't For Everyone." This phrase, rendered in massive, bold lettering, is impossible to miss. For thousands of drivers and pedestrians, the mural is a constant reminder of Bryant's ethos. “Advertising is notorious for creating these heroes on large structures with beautiful images of people we admire,” Nike spokesperson said. “Also confronting the text on such a massive scale here is provocative because it’s a forward, assertive tone that we are taking.” This mural comes right after Nike released a video for the campaign featuring all-star athletes like LeBron James, Serena Williams, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Victor Wenbanyama, Sha'Carri Richardson, A'ja Wilson, and more. The video and mural synergy amplifies the campaign's impact, creating a cohesive narrative across multiple platforms. See it in action on our Instagram . Previous Next

DeerDana < Back PRESSED JUICERY Overview Service Commercial Signage industry CPG markets New York Wall(s) 1 Wall impressions N/A Pressed Juicery has been bringing fresh, delicious and affordable juice to the public since its inception in 2010. Since then, the company has expanded from a small store-front location in Brentwood, CA, to gradually opening a few more stores, a juice-truck and progressing across the country. With multiple locations in New York City , spring 2017 was the perfect time to branch out into the ever-health-conscious Williamsburg, Brooklyn . Popular Brooklyn based artist, DeerDana designed this simple and quirky black and white mural placed off the Bedford Avenue subway stop in the heart of Williamsburg’s most well known street. Dana Veraldi and her business partner Kevin Tekinel are the creative minds behind DeerDana. The brand gained popularity for their stylized portraits of contemporary icons back in 2008. This overwhelmingly busy intersection and subway station caused a series of challenges for the OM crew as they attempted to paint the wall without disturbing rushed commuters. The artists worked odd hours of the night from midnight til sunrise in order to avoid the daily rush. Previous Next

Canada Dry < Back BOLD Overview Service Outdoor Advertising industry CPG markets Los Angeles Wall(s) 1 Wall impressions 467K+ The summertime heat calls for a kick and Canada Dry delivers with their new Bold flavor that they say will have grandma running for the Hollywood Hills.

Boston Greenway < Back SHINIQUE SMITH Overview Service Public Art industry Art & Culture markets Boston Wall(s) 1 Wall impressions The 3rd annual Rose Kennedy Greenway Mural in Boston's Dewey Square Park is a result of a collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts and contemporary fine artist, Shinique Smith who is simultaneously exhibiting at the MFA Overall Murals was selected to bring the artist's original four-foot tall art pieceSeven Moons to life and blow it up to approximately 80 feet tall as the newly titled and redesigned as Shinique Smith's Seven Moon Junction. Utilizing our favorite oils was very different from the original painting's multimedia materials. We turned what wer actual 3-d objects, a coffee lid and braided fabric, into illusions of photorealistic gigantic objects. The last two previous murals on the wall were controversial -- either liked or talked about. Passersby approved of the bright abstract backdrop of what is Boston's busiest commercial district. Shinique Smith puts it best when she described the choice of artwork and transition to the grand scale, in her artist statement: Seven Moon Junction, I have used a detail from my 2013 painting ‘Seven Moons,’ because its circular composition and color palette and the geometry of the building felt as if they belonged together. I shifted the scale of the painting’s collage and counterbalanced them with a braided sculptural element to enrich the texture and create a composition tailored to the architecture of the Dewey Square wall. This particular work draws inspiration from various sources such as, alchemy, astrology, music and the mythology and art of indigenous cultures. By taking a small aspect of this existing work and enlarging it to the scale of 70 feet, this microcosm of materials is seen and experienced from a new perspective, becoming a distinct new presentation. I see this piece, as a mural that extends beyond the wall, as it attunes to the space in which it sits, radiating energy outward to the rest of the city and its occupants. Inspired by the flow of the environment, I will orchestrate a performance of music, art and dance on the green space that is an extension of the mural inspired by the spirals and color in the design. I’ve titled this work, Seven Moon Junction in reference to the intersection where the mural resides, the merging of people and the joining of art and life. The field of view, Dewey Square Park is part of the mural. Previous Next

IWC < Back THE BIG PILOT Overview Service Outdoor Advertising, Special FX industry Apparel & Accessories markets New York Wall(s) 1 Wall impressions 600K+ The Big Pilot Watch is a collection of iconic wristwatches that capture the essence of aviator watches. Its bold style, showcasing its incredible features and sleek design, was emphasized on our bold corner unit through a magnificent and unique forced perspective art piece. When IWC was searching for big and iconic luxury placements to capture the style-conscious New Yorker and a taste for high-quality goods, we knew our newest, biggest, and boldest wallscapes on Wythe Ave, located in front of the high-end Willam Vale hotel, would create the engagement and response they were looking for. The layout of our unit combined with the incredible artwork they customized for it, would undoubtedly get the daily passersby to look up from their iPhone 12x, lower their shades, and even get a gasp from their miniature bulldog as they pause and stare at the large mural-scape in front of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F95bE8wPV8 The artwork is next level with its anamorphic design providing onlookers with a feeling of the watch floating in a shipping container as it makes its way from the Swiss mountains and onto the wrists of the trendy elite in Williamsburg, Brooklyn who frequent the hotels, rooftops, restaurants, and chic pools. IWC also incorporated a QR code on the mural design, so passersby could engage with the artwork by scanning the QR code where they could virtually try the watch on their wrist. Check out the incredible design below (and we’re not just talking about the watch) and watch the video the Overall Murals team put together, to fully grasp what it takes to bring this kind of artwork to life.

TCU < Back 150TH ANNIVERSARY Overview Service Public Art industry Education markets Texas Wall(s) 2 Walls impressions N/A Texas Christian University (TCU), situated in Fort Worth, TX, commemorated its 150th anniversary by collaborating with Overall Murals, to hand paint two permanent high-impact wallscapes in Fort Worth to honor TCU's rich legacy and status as a leading Texas institution. Two school alumni designed the murals, each encapsulating facets of TCU's heritage and vibrant community. Artist Trevor Scott, a TCU graphic design alumnus, designed the monumental 96-foot tall and 90-foot wide mural that towers above Fort Worth’s downtown area. This design showcased iconic TCU landmarks like Frog Fountain and SuperFrog alongside Fort Worth's landmarks, including Bass Performance Hall and the city’s skyline. Its longevity, planned for at least five years, ensures a lasting tribute to TCU's legacy. Natalie Neale, another TCU graduate, designed a colorful mural that pays homage to a cherished tradition dating back to 1986 – TCU's annual tulip planting. Composed of a rainbow of tulip petals, this mural invites engagement, encouraging passersby to interact and pose in front of it, fostering a sense of community and connection. This wall, in particular, was especially challenging due to the artwork's rocky surface and soft blend of gradients. It was, as the painters called it, “a brush killer.” https://vimeo.com/900225054 These vibrant murals serve as captivating art pieces and embody the essence of the university. Fort Worth, brimming with school pride, is notably influenced by TCU, which is evident in the pervasive display of the university's distinctive purple hue throughout the city. The collaboration between TCU and Overall Murals not only underscores the artistic brilliance of these installations but also highlights their strategic role as powerful recruitment tools. By showcasing TCU's excellence, these murals play a pivotal role in instilling pride among students, faculty, and alumni during city visits. Previous Next

Victoria's Secret < Back ICON Overview Service Outdoor Advertising, Content Creation industry Apparel & Accessories markets Los Angeles, New York Wall(s) 3 Walls impressions 4M+ What’s more iconic than Victoria’s Secret bras and the legendary women who model them? The company’s new campaign, ICON , for its new Push-Up Demi Bra, featured hand painted murals in SoHo, NYC , and LA in Melrose/Fairfax . The campaign featured some of the greatest talents in modeling, past, present, and future, including legendary beautys Hailey Bieber, Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell, and Adriana Lima, photographed by Mikael Jansson . Overall Murals’ SoHo double wallscape features Naomi Cambell on the west side of the street and Gisele Bündchen across Lafayette, each looking out toward Canal St.: this is the racing heart of Manhattan’s best neighborhood for innumerable luxury designer stores and home to Michelin star restaurants – including Hirohisa and Le Coucou – and the NOMO SOHO hotel . Ms. Cambell and Ms. Bündchen, both in crisp, photorealistic black and white – painted in the style of Chuck Close portraits of John Cage and Kate Moss – seem to stand upon the sky, each her own constellation, as glorious and impressive as the city itself. In LA, at Melrose/Fairfax, our female-led paint crew painted the same photorealistic images as a two-story streetscape in the middle of the County’s chicest shopping runway, just down from Banned LA , Melrose Trading Post , and Urban Outfitters . The quadriptych of Ms. Bündchen, Paloma Elsesser, Ms. Campbell, and Candace Swanpoel rises from the sidewalk to the full height of the building: each of these timeless women is painted as defiant as boxers; each portrait captures the subject’s confidence and strength and throws a knockout visual punch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjXDnMKEnvo The Overall Murals content creation team captured the whole process and interviewed our female paint crew who painted the murals. VS received a VS Instagram Reel and a primo video package of “next level” content available on Instagram to unveil behind the scenes of making this Victoria Secret's campaign. The story? How Overall Murals is matching its own iconic team of fearless females to match the client's vision of creating exquisite, perfectly executed murals that prove hand painted, pictorial, out-of-home advertising has more impact than just photographs pasted to billboards. And it’s far, far sexier. Previous Next

Hendrick's Gin < Back IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE Overview Service Outdoor Advertising, Special FX industry Alcohol markets Philadelphia Wall(s) 1 Wall impressions Hendrick's Gin’s unusual 3-D art concept to realization. Before the paint even hits the wall, most of our hand painted murals require quite a bit of preparation, however, being that 90% of this particular mural wasn't actually being painted on the wall, much of it needed to be done in-house and carefully planned out from the first to final step of execution. In order to withstand a harsh East Coast winter, the pieces had to be resilient to the elements. Each piece was hand cut and painted in our shop, then brought toPhiladelphia for installation. Hendrick's distinct and whimsical imagery is rich in detail, collaged with odd sights and the very ingredients of which the gin is infused with - rose petals and cucumbers. The deep red roses and starry grey background were painted directly onto the wall, while all the wooden objects, including a cocktail glass, butterflies, winged man in coattails, a tiny man riding a tortoise atop a mushroom, cucumber slices and the statement, “It's not for everyone” pop out from the facade upon five floating planes. The illustrations' structural tiers can be viewed more sculptural than as the typical flat painting, and as so, it invited many curious onlookers and admirers from a city known for its ubiquitous murals.
