Pat Milbery has been a busy boy lately. Fresh off debuting a series of live art broadcasts to support local DJs and getting ready to put city-commissioned street art on an actual street, Bannock, the Denver artist just finished a mural on the side of a new pot shop in Stapleton.
Milbery has worked with businesses ranging from Pabst Blue Ribbon to Illegal Pete's to Westword in the past, and now the marijuana industry is on his list of collaborators. His latest mural, a giant, all-seeing owl perched in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, can be spotted on the side wall of the Green Solution's new dispensary at 10195 East Montview Boulevard in Aurora.
