Titan Walls mural festival brings huge works of art to Chicago's West Town

'Murals are so important to the culture of every city, because it becomes part of the story of that city,' said artist Mandi Caskey, also known as Miss Birdy.

CHICAGO -- A unique art show will be on display on Saturday in Chicago, but it won't be in a gallery. You can only see it on the streets of West Town, and the paintings are enormous.Near Ashland and Hubbard, artist Joseph Renda has been painting a mural of a bird with a spray paint cap on its head – creating the clouds. 'My work in general is all about nature and humanity, and our connection to nature, so I like to add human things into natural elements,' he said.

Mandi Caskey – or as she's known, Miss Birdy – is painting a mural of a ferocious dragon helping a bunny. 'I'm really trying to show how something could be perceived as evil and destructive can be also something that in the right light can be helpful,' she said. 'Murals is a backbreaking job, but it is absolutely fun.'Caskey is from Columbus, Ohio, but she loves participating in festivals like Titan Walls.
