Murals

I love the murals here! 

Cozumel does not have a particularly strong arts scene.  There is only one local artist, that I know about, that has a store. Galo.  Fairly deep in the neighbourhood. 

But there are lots of really neat murals all over the city.  Some quite old. Some seem brand new it seems.  Some really neat or pretty, a few a bit disturbing.

I'm hopeful that the arts scene here will grow.  Cause these murals tell me there are many talented people here.

1) The raccoon is awesome!  It's on the side of one of the cruise ship admin buildings. 

2 & 3) I don't remember where they are.  But they show a wide range in style.

4) I'm not super fond of the look of this mural.  But holy smokes!!!! Look at the detail!  And how the mural doesn't skip a beat when interrupted by the utility pole and box.

5, 6, 7) These are on a large wall near the cemetery.

8) I think this jaguar (?) has been here for a while.  But he still looks great to me!

9-10) There's a whole series of similar dog images on the wall outside a doggy day care business.  It's definitely a thing here.  There are at least 2 that I know about!

11-12) There are, of course, many underwater scene murals. Given that this is an island and a very popular scuba destination.  I especially like how the water was rendered in the last mural!  And the tiger. I'm not sure why a tiger underwater...
