This mural displays an amazing looking monkey in a full space suit as it takes a lunar walk from the Space Shuttle. The 3-D effect is apparent from all angles shows Ivan the astronaut monkey in the foreground and planets, gaseous clouds, the space shuttle and stars in the background. Ivan appears to be drifting off the side of the building toward the viewer.
The artist signature at the bottom right is TOM - X
An interesting thing about the mural is the continuous flow of the artwork over multiple surfaces. Most of the mural is over a smooth concrete wall but the center which is Ivan's right had appears to be covering metal panels or possibly louvers covering a window. However the artist was able to continue the flow of the mural and make the transition seamless.
