New Kobra Mural in Hollywood - Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela & Martin Luther King Jr.


The Brazilian muralaist, Eduardo Kobra, just finished painting yet another incredible mural in Los Angeles.

This one is located on Highland Ave., and it features giant oversized portraits of Mother Tereza, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr.

The artistry and talent that Kobra flaunts in these pieces is truly amazing.  Its like he is toying with the idea of painting a mural and at the time setting the bar so high that few can compete on this level.  Kobra not only paints likenesses on huge scale with impeccable detail, Kobra adds his signature checkerboard color patterns with prismatic precision.

Dig it.  Stay up!

Kobra - First Bite's So Nice, Had to Try It Twice!


If Eduardo Kobra lived up to his last name, it might be worth it to get bit by his venom.  Twice.

M&F already posted initial pics of Kobra's mural on La Brea.  But the artwork is so spectacular, that it deserves a return feature with a deeper view.

Seriously incredible talent displayed here on many levels.

It is interesting to note that this actual mural was painted on the building itself.  There were actually plywood pieces attached to the wall, and this mural was painted on top of those.  So, theoretically, this mural could be removed from the wall.  What's underneath?  Kobra's previous mural, featuring a colorfully stylized Mt. Rushmore, is still riding underneath this one.
