You know the strip of bars and restaurants that are just down from the "Round About" where Tin Roof is? That's how people have described the area, and it is why they are renaming the area Demonbreun Hill. They have a lot of great ideas to make the area even better than it already is. One of the first things they've done is my mural in an alley/short cut from a patron's parking lot in the back to the front. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The wall is more than 100' long and varies in height from 9' to 12'. It has the a large DEMONBREUN HILL that runs the length and images mixed in throughout.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The mural is all about Nashville history, one of my favorite subjects. One section is about Timothy Demonbreun while the rest is about the block's former life as a Music Row tourist destination. Come with me as I break down the meaning of my Demonbreun Hill mural.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The first part of the mural you see in the alley is a giant "old timey pointing hand" holding a card with the new Demonbreun Hill logo. This is mainly directional for the foot traffic, but it is also a quick visual reference to history. I repeated smaller pointing hands and the DH logo throughout the mural.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After the big hand is the section based on Timothy Demonbreun. He was Nashville's first resident (other than native tribes). He was a French Canadian fur trapper who was born in Montreal and began traveling south to Nashville during the 1760s at the ripe age of 17. He had a built a cabin in the Sulphur Dell area by 1766. Other settlers didn't arrive until 1778. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There
are no pictures of Demonbreun so I used drawings of fur trappers and
the silhouette is based on Alan LeQuire's sculpture near Fort Nashboro.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the 1970s-1990s the Demonbreun Hill block was for tourists. It was in close proximity to the old Country Music Hall of Fame. These store fronts acted as T-shirt and post card shops, and several country music stars had their own museums.</span></div>

opened a second location of his famed record store on Demonbreun Avenue in
the 1970s (maybe late 60s). Lower Broadway had become a seedy place, so
for around 20 years he broadcast his Saturday night WSM Radio Show "The
Ernest Tubb
Midnight Jamboree” from the Demonbreun location. After every performance the Texas
Troubadour would flip his guitar to reveal the word "THANKS".</span> </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now is a good time to talk about the architecture of the block. The original Country Music Hall of Fame had a design based on a classic American barn. So a couple of the buildings on the block mimicked that look. It was very folksy and very different from the current look. I wanted to give a subtle nod to those faux barns.</span><br />

It is what really drew people to the area in the 70s-90s. The original Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum opened on Music Row (Music Square East and Division Street) on April 1, 1967.</span> It was a glass barn shape and not very big. It is where BMI publishing is now. Once the HOF moved to its current location the tourist shops and stars museums slowly moved along also. This allowed the block to transform into a vibrant block full of great restaurants and bars ... Demonbreun Hill.</span> </span><br />

This is part of my ongoing project with <a href="http://www.tpac.org/">TPAC</a> and their Broadway Series at the 5 Points in East Nashville. This mural is for the comedy musical <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16wXh3pfIa4">Rock of Ages</a> showing April 19-20. It was fun to mix colors of the sunset directly on the wall with a paint roller.

Jeka (with Zoom) founded TM crew in Sept. 1994, and Joel was the first guy to join in the fun. They don't paint much graffiti anymore, but we still got love for them. They're both incredible guys and will always be my friends.<br />

Block Beattaz is a crew of producers from Huntsville, Alabama. They have been doing great things for years and 2013 looks to be the year they go global (I hope so anyways). They were the cover story for CONCRETE Alabama #6, but as true "behind-the-scenes" type guys, they wanted to run their logo instead of a photo. So I went in to my studio (CONCRETE clubhouse) and rocked a quick logo on the wall.

Did this solo joint on Habitat for Humanity on Division St next to Yazoo Brewery. I took the old <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville_Kats">Nashville Kats</a> (defunct Arena Football team) logo and flipped it just a bit. Love this Rock-A-Billy Cat!

I graduated from Hillsboro High School the same year as Harmony Korine. He has used a lot of class mates in his films over the years. My friend Troy Duff is the latest example of that. Harmony shot a short film for <a href="http://www.vice.com/en_us">Vice</a> and Troy had a nice supporting role as Rev. Mickey House alongside the legendary Val Kilmer. When Troy told me he was in the project, I bugged him to get in as an extra. Troy came thru like the friend he is, and I found myself an extra in the Locust Community Work Shop. Shooting took place summer of 2011 at the Brentwood Skate Center which has the same neon lights since it opened in 1981. I grew up in the roller rink heyday and Brentwood is about the only on left in Nashville from the 80s. It was the perfect trippy background for Harmony's crazy script. Good times. check chanting "Get a Job" at 13:41.

The summer of '87 I went to as many Sounds games as I could get my parents to drag me to. I would arrive early whenever possible to hound the players for autographs. That season The Sounds were the Triple-A affiliates for the Cincinnati Reds right when Pete Rose had retired but was still manager. 1987 was one of the seasons <a href="http://www.globalarray.net/user/cardboardstars/sill07031989574.jpg" target="_blank">he was betting on baseball</a>. The Reds won the World Series in 1990, and the '87 Sounds had many contributors on the roster. I got most of their autographs too!<br />

The ads in the program are really great too. It was a whole different era. Domino's Pizza still guaranteed pizza delivery under 30 mins. Avoid the Noid!</div>

If you collected baseball cards then you probably knew about E. Gad's in the Harding Mall (gone). If you played baseball you probably went to Grand Slam U.S.A. to use their batting cages. I did both. In high school I used to go to Grand Slam with friends a lot and play Hi-Ball. It was a trampoline meets basketball meets four square game. So much fun!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876017776915214152.post-18891812167849022012012-08-23T17:37:00.002-07:002012-08-23T17:47:58.775-07:00I Love MemphisThe homie Codak was in Memphis visiting, so AudRoc and I hopped on the road and went to rock a production with him and Paser. I wanted to incorporate some of the sports teams from Memphis' past.<br />

Defunct sports teams interest me a lot.<br />
The hat on top of the "R" is the logo from Memphis' old <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Basketball_Association" target="_blank">Americn Basketball Association</a> team, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Sounds" target="_blank">The Tams</a>. I bought the card below for cheap on ebay while researching cause I liked the look. Turns out George Thompson had a son while playing for Memphis. He named his son George Thompson Jr, but he is also known as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6acoCd4ag8" target="_blank">Ewok-MSK</a> (2:12).<br />

The 2 is based on the "S" in the logo for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Football_League" target="_blank">USFL</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Showboats" target="_blank">Memphis Showboats</a>. They played football in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Bowl" target="_blank">Liberty Bowl</a> and would sell that stadium out! The Showboats also <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrJVKk03mA4" target="_blank">drafted Reggie White</a> out of University of Tennessee. Check out the vintage Showboats hat I scored (1984).<br />

The "Smoking Native American" logo in the "X" is from the old minor league baseball team the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Chicks" target="_blank">Memphis Chicks</a> (short for <a href="http://www.chickasaw.net/" target="_blank">Chickasaw</a>). I heard at the games the Indian mascot actually ran around with a big cigar! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXVAiFBEpwA" target="_blank">Bo Jackson</a> played for the Chicks before he made it to the <a href="http://www.halloffamememorabilia.com/images/products/p-501153-bo-jackson-baseball-card-1987-topps-future-stars-170-kansas-city-royals-rookie-card-aw-40209.jpg" target="_blank">Kansas City Royals</a>.</div>
