A German artist is painting the world’s tallest mural in Calgary’s Beltline neighbourhood as part of the Beltline Urban Murals Project (BUMP) Festival.
Mirko Reisser (DAIM), is a German artist who is known for his 3D-style graffiti works. BUMP says Reisser’s mural will help Calgary become “a creative hub for artists.”

BUMP says the mural was set to be completed by mid-June, but is still being painted.
