Alien Leia

This mural is a humorous take on the Princess Leia character from the Star Wars movie series.  It features a small version of the artist Jules Muck’s signature amorous bunnies, a larger version of which, when painted on the Near Eastside in October 2018, caused controversy and was removed by the property owner within 24 hours. The current mural was painted during an informal artist’s residency in Indianapolis in the summer of 2019.

Jules Muck, aka MuckRock, is a street artist from England who learned her craft in the 1990s from Lady Pink and many other legends of graffiti and hip-hop culture.  After working extensively in New York, she moved to Venice, California in 2008.  She currently works nationally and internationally, with major works in various locations including Miami’s famous Wynwood district, produced with Art Basel Miami. MuckRock’s street works are both invited and unsanctioned, and she has created work for gallery exhibitions.
