Lakeland, Florida, is home to a number of meaningful murals and street art pieces. Today, I’m sharing a bright, colorful mural called AstroKnights by C. Stanley Creative. The mural is on the exterior walls of South Florida Gun & Pawn Shop at 844 South Florida Avenue. The owner of the Gun & Pawn Shop requested a bright, fantasy themed piece featuring a knight of some sort.
The mural consists of two astronaut-knights reaching towards a black hole. The design takes into account the mid-wall interruption (the door and awning). These elements were incorporated into the painting, giving visitors the experience of walking into a swirling black hole as they enter the building. The wall was completed with exterior acrylic and spray paint. Size: 88 x 17 feet.
I am wishing you bright and cheerful days.

Now that’s quite the painting job! Huge!
That mural is stunning!!
You say the sweetest things!
Amazing mural, although I don’t see the connection between jewelry and guns.
It’s a pawn shop, and I guess they are trying to show the range of items accept – as in jewelry to guns? That’s my guess for the store name. I just love the mural.
Very creative and colorful mural ~ delightful ~ thanks,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

…Carola, this one is fabulous!!!
Beautiful mural!
I wonder what inspired the artist to combine astronauts and knights? It is imaginative and visually striking. Great find!
The mural itself is so colorful and beautiful. And imaginative. And not an advertisement for the pawn shop. Love it!
That is an amazing work of art! Thanks for sharing it Carol. I hope you have had a great week.
I’ve seen several space themed murals over the years but never one this colorful or so dynamic. Nice find.
What an impressive mural. I like it very much.
Worth a Thousand Words
