NEW MURAL ON DISPLAY AT BLACKLIST BY ARMANDO SILVA

FOR OUR TWO-YEAR CELEBRATION, WE TEAMED UP WITH LOCAL ARTIST, ARMANDO SILVA TO CREATE A SPECIAL PIECE OF ART FOR THE STORE. THE RESULT WAS A 16 SQUARE SQUARE FOOT MURAL REPRESENTING THE TOWN OF GREELEY THROUGH THE EYES OF THE 86ERS.

IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE IS THE TRANSFORMATION BETWEEN NIGHT AND DAY WHICH REPRESENTS BOTH GREELEY’S DAYTIME BUSINESS AND NIGHTLIFE AS WELL AS REPRESENTING THE SHOP’S BUSINESS HOURS AND INFAMOUS AFTER HOURS.

NOTICE THE COWS IN THE BACKGROUND. GREELEY IS KNOWN FOR BEING NOTHING BUT A COWTOWN, BUT TO US THE COMMERCE THAT IS MEAT (AND THE SMELL) IS SIMPLY AN AFTERTHOUGHT. WE TRY TO DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO HELP GREELEY BECOME KNOWN FOR ITS POWERFUL AND CREATIVE YOUTH SCENE, WHETHER IT BE ARTISTS, SKATEBOARDERS, MUSICIANS, OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

HERE YOU SEE GUGGENHEIM HALL, HOME OF THE ART SCHOOL. A MONUMENTAL BUILDING ON CAMPUS AS WELL AS THE HOME TO ARMANDO OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. WE ARE VERY INTEGRATED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN COLORADO CAMPUS BEING LOCATED DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE NORTH SIDE OF CAMPUS. WE ARE THE COLLEGE SHOP AND IT HAD TO BE REPRESENTED.

THIS PORTION IS OUR HOMAGE TO ERIC MCEACHRON AS SEEN IN THE ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH BELOW AND MACKEY HOOKER, THE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE PHOTO. ERIC AND MACKEY HAVE BOTH HELPED PAVED THE WAY FOR SKATEBOARDING IN GREELEY AS WELL AS PLAYED A HUGE ROLE IN THE SHOP SINCE DAY ONE.

LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM, HE IS THE ORIGINAL BOSS!

THIS IS DOWNTOWN GREELEY. MOST IMPORTANTLY 9TH STREET PLAZA, HOME OF THE RIO, PENALTY BOX, THE JAGER, SKY NIGHTCLUB, TAVOLA, PATRICKS IRISH PUB, AND THE MAD COW. BUT MOST NOTICEABLE IN THE PAINTING, THE PENALTY BOX AND THE JAGER. IN MY EYES, THESE TWO PLACES WERE THE START OF DOWNTOWN’S EVER GROWING NIGHTLIFE. WE HAVE HOSTED MANY EVENTS WITH THESE GUYS AND ARE PROUD TO BE APART OF SUCH A GREAT GROUP OF FRIENDS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS.
