It is a fact that if my sister had not needed to visit the local Post Office during our recent stay in the funky little desert town of Moab, Utah, then I would not have had the good fortune to discover this fantastic mural of a Black Crow poking its head through a sea of cactus. The unfortunate presence of two trash bins is owed to the fact that the mural faces an alley between the Post Office and the town’s Main Street.
Entitled Keeper of the Garage, the 40ft x 12ft x 28ft scene adorns the back of the local coffee shop Moab Garage. The work dates back to October 2019 and is one of two town murals by artist Skye Walker from a commission by the Moab Arts council.
