Graffiti artists creates 200-foot Jackson 5 mural in Gary
GARY, Ind. — A graffiti artist has created a four-story mural honoring The Jackson 5 in the group’s hometown of Gary, Indiana.
The city commissioned local artist Felix “Flex” Maldonado and his assistant Omar “OMS” Marin to paint the mural on the brick side of a vacant building. The black-and-white artwork features all five members including late pop superstar Michael Jackson. The artists used hydraulic lifts to paint the nearly 200-foot-by-200-foot mural. It took them about two weeks.
