Terminal Kings street art murals: a sneak peek

Terminal Kings, a new art project commissioned by the Denver International Airport's Art and Culture Program, is taking off this week, as world-class street artists Sam Flores, David Choe and Highraff work on giant murals -- each 100'x8', painted in panels -- that will be used as construction barricades at DIA over the next five years as the South Terminal expansion progresses. The artists gathered at City Hall Amphitheater last night to continue working on the murals; their creation will be accompanied by ten days and nights of art, music and performance starting on January 12.
Here's a look at the start of the art:

"The whole piece is going to be along the idea of having yourself, your thoughts, your own imagination and your own person just lifting you to wherever you want to go," he says.
