Spray-Paint Art Provides Neighborhood Makeovers

A little paint can go a long way.

Two artists whose work has already graced walls in the West Ashley and North Charleston chART galleries are putting their stamps on a couple of walls in Charleston's Neck area this week.

Patch Whisky's psychedelic monsters are claiming the back wall of an autobody shop and are visible from northern King Street. The mural will include work by at least one other artist and will incorporate the name of an area tattoo shop, which is paying for Whisky's paint.

At the Gateway to Charleston development project at the corner of King and Carolina streets, the developer hired artist Molly Rose Freeman to install one of her abstract geometric murals on the long sloping wall created by the confluence of I-26 and the Crosstown.
