Being in suburban Boston, I can't do much of the local day to day legwork, but I'm willing and able to come down for a weekend and help get it painted.
1. First things first; we'll need some pictures of the area @ 125th & Park - preferably from the train platform :D to scope out a good wall.
2. Next we'll have to get permission from the property owner to do the mural.
3. Finalize size/design.
4. Choose paint colors and type/quantity - research anti-graffiti clear topcoat.
5. Assemble team and wall layout strategy, ladders/staging etc. as needed.
6. Pick date(s) - rain contingency plans.
Most importantly we have to make sure this mural is tight as hell, otherwise people are gonna tag over it in no time. Sooo...
Any graffitti guys with clean can control and nice regular lettering would clinch our success, someone up would give us some cred. 'Na mean?!
I've got people here who could come down, but come on?! ;) We need some local talent!
* Right now I need a volunteer(s) to go shoot photos, and ask for possible permission re. likely walls.
Right now, to develop the design more I'm thinking a skyline in the background transforming into some sort of streetgrid/maplike thing in the same four grey tones. We'll also need a good pithy streetwise inspirational quote to put up with it;
any appropriate finds, post them here.
Obviously it goes without saying that anyone involved should they choose it would enjoy total anonymity.
