Fluid Picasso-esque metal figures, Mad Max steam-punk vehicles, astronauts basking in the Utah air, and insects the size of your children (Honey, I shrunk the kids!).

This mural on the northeast corner of the Big-D Construction Corporation in Downtown Salt Lake City features a construction worker. The building itself (established in 1922) is a historic landmark, the first cast-in-place concrete warehouse West of the Mississippi. It was very important to Big-D president Jack Livingood […]
