I remember when I was in L.A in the 90's and I descovered this huge and famous painting on a Venice building wall (I'll scan it later )



Last year in Bulgaria ,I found this one from Coverdale in Kavarna :



Do you have some more ?

I love Coverdale's voice !

The Bulgarian city of Kavarna is apparently a stronghold for fans of good old 70’s hardrock. Glenn Hughes will be announced honorary citizen of the town when he is doing a concert there in May. In the same ceremony, a big painting of Hughes on a building downtown will be opened. The city center of Kavarna already has big paintings of Ian Gillan and Ronnie James Dio.

That reminds me of a small concrete building with a Hendrix picture painted on it somewhere on a meadow next to the railroad between Utrecht and Den Bosch in the Netherlands. Anyone knows if that is still there?

Funny you noticed that because it reminds me a huge painting on a building when I hitchiked from A'dam to Utrecht in 1985.

Who would waste all that paint on a Coverdale mural??
In the Swiss mural everyone looks pretty cool, excpet Keith looks more like that ventriloquist's Keith-puppet than himself. Over @ Rocks-Off there is clip of that puppet.
