The mural located on the 400 block of East 33rd Street was created by Thomas Evans, a.k.a. Detour, and Nether. The mural is the first of the Birdland Murals to be unveiled in the community. It celebrates the Orioles’ connection to the Waverly community and features a young man wearing a City College baseball cap, as well as a depiction of Memorial Stadium.
Originally from Baltimore, Nether has been painting murals in Charm City, as well as nationally and internationally, for 10 years. He is committed to painting murals that celebrate Baltimore's unique cultural heritage.
Thomas Evans, a.k.a. Detour, specializes in large scale public art, interactive visuals, portraiture, immersive spaces and creative directing. He focuses on creating work that brings art and innovation together. A born collaborator and “military brat,” Detour pulls from personal experiences to help shape his landscapes. Detour focuses on expanding customary views of creativity and challenging fine-art paradigms by mixing traditional mediums with new approaches, all the while opening the creative process to multi-layered collaboration and viewer participation.
The Birdland Murals series, powered by PNC Bank, began in 2019 and currently features four murals, all of which can be found throughout Oriole Park. For more information on the Birdland Murals series, visit Orioles.com/Murals.
