Art is a business to some, and a love for others, but can't it be both? "The Highwaymen Murals: Al Black's Concrete Dreams" tells the story of Al Black, an artist and salesman who spent much of his life repairing and selling paintings on the roads of America. He fell afoul of drugs, but while serving his prison sentence, he was given the opportunity to paint more than one hundred murals for the Department of Corrections. "The Highwaymen Murals" tells this unique story of an artist and the striking works he created, presented in full color for readers and viewers to enjoy.
