It is a cool, if not a bit eccentric, piece of art located in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. I specifically headed downtown to see this cool piece of local art. Since it is in downtown Jacksonville, parking was a bit of a hassle. But I just had to go around the block once until I found a parking spot. I parked, tossed a few quarters in the parking meter and headed to check out this piece of art. A community's art helps give that community a personality. This art, while quirky, is definitely cool and I would definitely recommend it. Just head over to James Weldon Johnson Park and you will find it.

The MOSH Mouth is across the river in James Weldon Johnson Park, next to MOCA. This poor sculpture has been really vandalized. At the time of my visit, other Yelp photos had been posted 4 and 7 mos prior, and it was far less defaced. No holes kicked into the teeth, no green or white spray paint just about everywhere. It's a shame because the sculpture looks stupid with all the smartazz nonsense on it. And kicking holes in the structure? Grow up, that's disgusting. What a waste. Cool effort on the part of the artists and the city. But the trailer punks in Jax are destroying the presence of sculpture in town. If you want your city to grow some respectable culture, don't destroy it! Poor Double Dare-faced lady!

It's one of several small-scale neighborhood murals in the city that are meant as selfie spots and local pride photo backdrops, rather than large historic murals downtown. It's not a formal landmark or museum piece more of a quick, casual stop for photos, especially for people driving through or grabbing food nearby.

We were downtown to pop into the Visit Jacksonville Center to redeem one of our Jax Ale Trail passports for the t-shirt and parked right next to this beauty! Very lifelike hands carrying a stack of books- I am a huge fan of reading. I truly believe it expands our minds, consciousness and understanding and lends the benefit of sparking the imagination. I have been an avid reader most of my life, raised in a household where no one else enjoyed reading. I tried very hard to instill that same passion in my children- which was hit or miss. This mural has always made me want to pick up a book. I hope you do as well. Title: The Function of Education Artist: Case Maclaim Location: 25 W Forsyth St

There is so much hustle and bustle and -honestly- a question of safety is always an underlying feeling. It doesn't even matter the city, it just is. I feel like I could just be swallowed up by it. That being said- I love the chaotic energy that a busy city brings. It's tangible. The high alert, looking everywhere, in awe of towering buildings or art everywhere. The vast difference in people around you. I've been downtown when it is crazy busy and when the city is near quiet. At night- when leaving a show, late- the lights, the skyline is almost dreamlike. I get all of these emotions and memories flooding my thoughts when I see this mural. From what I read this one of the first large scale murals downtown.
