Welcome To The Darkside: "Live" Mural Painting seen @ Star Wars Day jakarta (#SWDJKT)

Part of the festivities for the recent weekend's Star Wars Day Jakarta, was the "live" mural painting (which I constantly use the term now in lieu of "graffiti" heehee) perpetrated by Bedlamorama, The Yellow Dino and Mr KumKum - who tricked out The Fett, a Chibi-Trooper and Darth Maul! The name of the collective piece? "Welcome To The Darkside"!
The mural happened right in front of the entrance of Balai Kartini, with crowds of folks gathered about, sitting on ledges and curbs, silently enjoying the activity in before them … all the while vehicles constant moving past the artists' bums - which made for a somewhat "ironic poetic" scene - when the sky fell dark, as the car headlights were switched on, and illuminated the wall as they drove past, like it perhaps would have been like, when writing "illegally". But when there were no cars, the guys were tagging in darkness, illuminated slightly by the street-lights and light coming from the entrance. And I have (brightened in post) videos to prove it!
Finished on Saturday night, amidst a slight downpour, the panel was then moved to the inside of Balai Kartini, and display on the 2nd floor of the event location. I even managed to see one of the security guards, posing in front of the piece, while asking his kaki to take a quick snap! Tis truly lit a smile on my face :)
Well done, guys!
