The super-prolific artist Brandan "Bmike" Odums has painted yet another mural, this time outside the Bywater warehouse currently housing his StudioBe, which is open through the summer.

"Hey, she has her hands up like I did!" - "that is you." - "But, I'm not purple!" - "I just painted you with purple paint." - "Hey! That IS me!!" #Paintwhereitaint #EphemeralEternal #StudioBE

Painted as a Mother's Day tribute, the mural depicts a real-life three-year-old, seen in the above Instagram photo, and features a poem by Cleo Wade (seen recently in a New Orleans-shot Land Rover ad).
