Given the likely demolition of this structure - I believe the building has been empty for a while - who would have commissioned this and why?
Good points - if you like it they're great, and if you don't (the Freak Lunchbox for me) they are an eyesore that's difficult to ignore. The dumb mural/slogan they had on the Roy during construction is another example of an eyesore for me, but luckily it was only temporary.

Also wondering why a mural would be done on a building that won't be around for long... seems like a waste.
