Humanfacturing

Location: 1306 8th St SW, Roanoke, VA 24015

Hired by Greenway Self Storage owners Tom and Cory Dorathy, Toobz Muir painted a large-scale mural on the side of the building. In dark turquoise, shades of gray, and other colors, the mural depicts a man tapping a hammer against a larger man who is driving a nail into a tiny chair while underneath the larger man is a dog. Muir said, "it's a little guy working on a bigger guy who's working on smaller stuff for the little guy."

Known for his colorful and surreal work, he draws inspiration from his early fascination with graffiti and from his challenges with being color blind.
