Location
1200 North 3rd Street, Harrisburg, PA

This colorful, interactive mural is the product of tattoo artist Ryan Spahr, a Harrisburg area native. Because he is afraid of heights, he was given this space to create a mural because it is only 16 feet tall.

Featuring gritty black markings, the wings are meant to be more moth-like than butterfly-like as the artist draws much of his personal influence for art from horror.

Because Spahr is a marker artist, he used specialized brushes, both thin and wide, to replicate the technique on a large scale.
