Default Geelong Mural

You might think this is out of place in the softskin forum, but it does relate to CMP softskins...

This mural is a mosaic and is 50m long and 2.8m high. It was commissioned in 1977 by the Geelong Council and took artist Harold Freedman 3 years to complete.

It's located in the 'upside down' government building in Geelong and depicts the development of Geelong.

Default Moving right along

Now this is what caught my eye - interesting to see they chose a cab 12 F60L to represent Ford at war.

Default The big closeup

This is real ART.

Howard, I think you should bring this to the attention of the Ganmain elders - after all Ganmain IS the centre of the Cab 12 universe isn't it?

Awesome!!! I've always really loved mosaics ... and the closeups shots show some great work on them ... and talk about a HUGE mural project. Amazing. The subject matter is really something too ... cmps and such ... I'm used to seeing religeous themes mosaics ... but then again, I guess CMP's and military stuff really is a religeon to you enthusiasts!!!

Great stuff!!! and thanks for posting.
