Hwy. 80 and Gallatin - Jason Jenkins

Jason Jenkins , also known as Artie Jynx, painted this beautiful box at the corner of Highway 80 and Gallatin Street in South Jackson. It brings a level of beauty that this otherwise desolate corner hasn't seen in a long time. A Jackson native and graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi, Jenkins paints murals, logos and other commissioned works of art, and he also paints live alongside musical acts like the Bailey Brothers.

This box depicts a tranquil stream surrounded by twisty old trees that are reminiscent of Cypress. A mysterious blue hand reaches out at one point in the stream, adding a level of creepiness to the piece. The colors are gorgeous, though. The pictures don't really do it justice:
