UK-based artist My Dog Sighs Creates Mural on South Street

LOVE this… New mural this month from UK-based artist My Dog Sighs located at 5th and South Streets!

Curated and organized by HAHA x Paradigm, the Philadelphia-based initiative that produces engaging public art projects in the South Street, Bella Vista, and Queen Village neighborhoods, and created in partnership with the South Street Headhouse District and the Philadelphia Cultural Fund, the new mural offers a pair of tributes to the city. First, integrated into the background of his mural, layers of teal, brown, and gold paint partially cover My Dog’s free handing the sentimental lyrics of Neil Young’s Philadelphia (more photos of that here.) Second, the eyes hold an image of My Dog and Robert Perry, owner of South Streets’ Tattooed Mom.
