CHICAGO When snow blankets the landscape during harsh winter months, Eduardo Vea Keating sees a silver lining. You have to see the bright side, said Keating, a creative director in advertising and resident of Chicago s Logan Square neighborhood. It s a beautiful time of the year.
Keating has gained notoriety in recent years for unique murals created entirely from snow. Calling them snow graffiti, his artwork on brick walls around the Windy City range from geometric patterns to short words and more recently, totems. I think they re kind of my personal gods of snow, praying for more snow to come down, he said.
