TRS804: Richmond Mural Project Update, Gaia and Ever finish up

Gaia finished up his piece on the corner of Rowland and Main St. today. You might recognize this wall from an earlier post during the RMP that showed an outline that had been started by local tattoo artist Jesse Smith. Because of problems with the lift and some other administrative issues, Jesse was not able to finish in the window of time he had allotted for his mural so the wall was passed on to Gaia. He produced a very Richmond-esque piece that features a monument labeled “Smith" for Captain John Smith holding a ship. Smith was a British soldier who “left his mark" on the Jamestown region of Virginia and was the beneficiary of the generous actions of Pocohontas and other indigenous peoples of the area. The James River is rising over the landscape in front of the monument and provides a stark contrast to most of RVA’s monuments which look out over the lush greenery of Monument Avenue or the Richmond Capitol building.view more

Being in a band with members all across the country can be extremely difficult, but imagine playing in a band with members who also live in Europe as well. This is reality for Red Dons, the punk rock quintet whose members reside in LA, Portland, Rhode Island, and London, and who play in RVA this Saturday. All of the members originally hailed from Portland, but everyone in the band has moved around extensively throughout their lives, and Burns mentions that between the four of them that are currently in the band, they’ve collectedly lived in Louisiana, California, Germany, Thailand, and Jordan as well.view more
