It's the LOUDHAUS, a single-story home located at Glen Iris Drive near Ponce City Market, and it was created by Atlanta artist Greg Mike.
According to Curbed, the occupied home was donated as a canvas by RPG Holdings. It has splashes of blue, purple and pink, and it incorporates the signature LOUDMOUF character, which is known for its wide, toothy grin.
This isn’t Mike’s only public work of art. He has murals on other buildings and walls throughout ATL.
He's also the founder of the ABV Agency, a studio and gallery that specializes in design and visual production, and OuterSpace Project, an event series that combines public art, live music and action sports.
