See the new “Beetlejuice” mural behind Forstall Art Center in Birmingham

At Bham Now, we love seeing local artists express their creativity through murals in The Magic City.

We caught up with Phillip Forstall, owner of Forstall Art Center, to learn more about the latest mural adorning the wall behind his store.

New “Beetlejuice” mural in downtown Birmingham

If you’re out for a walk in downtown Birmingham, you may notice a new mural on the alley off 20th Street North between 2nd and 3rd Ave.

The mural was painted by Shane B., a local tattoo artist with Non Stop Art Tattoo in Birmingham and a muralist with Mammoth Murals. Shane B. has worked on several outstanding works of art in The Magic City, including:

• The mural on the side of the new Culinary Dropout restaurant at The Summit
• The mural adorning the side of the Axel Row apartments in Avondale

The mural—which depicts characters and scenes inspired by the 1988 film Beetlejuice—is painted on a wall owned by Phillip Forstall of Forstall Art Supply.

“Shane is a friend of mine and comes out 2-3 times a year to repaint this wall. He’ll cover it up and do something different each time—it only takes him a couple of days to do it.”

In addition to Shane B.’s “Beetlejuice” mural, several other murals have been added to The Magic City’s walls lately, including:

• A two-story mural by Langston Allston across from the A.G. Gaston Motel
• “Apple Girl,” a mural by Marcus Fetch at Yellowhammer Antiques in Leeds
• A mural honoring the late Willie Mays—Birmingham’s own “Say Hey” Kid—by Brooklyn-based Colossal Media
