(Untitled) Mellow Mushroom Mural from the collection of Art in Roanoke

(Untitled) Mellow Mushroom Mural, 2016

Location: 2239 Franklin Rd SW, Roanoke, VA 24014

Painted by “Rather Severe,” the Mellow Mushroom Pizza Restaurant’s exterior is covered in an abstraction with bold colors that enrich the surrounding area and draw visitors in. “Rather Severe” is a team consisting of Travis Czekalski and Jon Stommel, who create murals, illustrations, and public art. The team collaborates with their clients and the surrounding communities on what their visions are for a piece as part of their creative process.

About the artists:
Travis Czekalski and Jon Stommel received their BFAs from the Columbus College of Art and Design, where they began working together in 2010. As “Rather Severe,” they have done multiple commissioned mural projects in several communities throughout the U.S. Check out more of their work at rather-severe.com
