This is such an unusual mural. It has a lot of action and a disquieting surrealist feel. It is on the side of Bucksport Sporting Goods in Eureka, California. I remember it from the late '70s when I lived in the region. The photo is from 2018.

A color landscape photo of a surrealist style mural on the side of a building. The image is of hunters camped next to a stream in a wooded area. There are four people, three adults and a boy. A campfire burns in the lower left. Two men at center-right are seated on rocks. One man in a red shirt is putting a splint on the right arm of the other man furthest right. The man receiving the splint is barefooted with his boots sitting on the ground slightly behind him. A man behind the two men in the foreground sits in a canoe with his back facing the viewer. He appears to be arranging things in the canoe as if they are getting ready to leave. In front of the canoe lying on the ground is the rack (antlers) of a moose. A boy on the opposite of the canoe is pointing across the stream while turned and facing the three men. His mouth is open apparently alerting them about the bear and two clubs he has spotted across the stream. The trees on both sides of the stream are in fall colors. The shoreline is very rocky with big boulders. Outside of the mural, on the far left is a man in a hat with a walking stick leaning back looking at the painting. He casts a shadow on the wall, but he is also a painted figure and part of the mural.

Giant colorful graffiti style lettering that reads “mothers” in front of grayscale illustrations of three women, with the middle one facing forward and the two others looking off to the side with their arms outstretched, on a backdrop of cosmic textures.

Photo of Danish Pastry, the Mastodon stuffed toy, sitting on a wall in front of a giant outdoor mural of colorful, surreal cartoon faces during a bright, overcast afternoon. They're sitting on a white concrete wall in the foreground, in front of a multilevel parking structure with rooftop parking. On a large, uninterrupted, ground-to-rooftop stretch of the parking structure's walls is “West Hollywood Mural” by Kenny Scharf. The mural depicts dozens of cartoon faces with varying amounts of eyes and facial features, so densely illustrated that there's no negative space between one face and another, all looming just behind Danish Pastry in the image background.

By Portuguese artist ADD FUEL aka Diogo Machado @addfuel at 19 Belmont Street, Aberdeen, Scotland in June 2024 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.

⠀⠀⠀

"Add Fuel is a Portuguese visual artist and illustrator who reinterprets the language of traditional tile design, in particular the Portuguese ceramic Azulejo (glazed tiles).

His technique of revealing and obscuring surfaces beneath or on top of existing structures and walls creates a unique optical illusion effect created through a combination of tessellations. From a distance these vector or stencil-based works appear to be recreating traditional motifs but are in fact brimming with pop and contemporary art references, rendered with a masterful attention to detail. Underpinning Add Fuel’s practice is his desire to challenge the viewer to contemplate the history and heritage that lies beneath the facades and pavements of our cities.

To contextualize his street pieces, Add Fuel researches traditional patterns from the region in which he is working. He has been showcasing his work in both solo and group exhibitions since 2006, as well as participating in some of the world’s leading urban art events." https://www.aberdeeninspired.com/murals/artist/add-fuel-2
